What 죄 means
Wrongdoing, guilt, sin, or a legal offense.
Context sets the shade: 죄책감 is guilt about a wrong; 죄송합니다 is a respectful apology.
King Sejong's Hangul was devised for writing Korean. The script's original name, Hunminjeongeum, appears in a 1443 record; a book explaining the script followed in 1446.
Weighty alone; remorseful in 죄송합니다.
죄송합니다 is an apology, not an accusation.

Questions people ask
1Why does 죄 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
