What 죑 means
죑 represents one Korean syllable. Its Hangul letters are ㅈ at the start, ㅚ as the vowel, and ㄾ as the final consonant cluster. “Joelt” is the Unicode name assembled from those component labels; it does not translate the syllable into English. When this syllable appears in a Korean word, that word supplies its meaning.
Why does 죑 look like a block?
Hangul arranges each syllable in a compact block. The ㅈ, ㅚ and ㄾ are parts of this spelling: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant cluster. Korean was written with Chinese characters and adapted systems before Hangul was devised in 1443 to represent Korean speech with a system suited to its sounds; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum was published in 1446. The script is called Hangeul in South Korean usage and Choseongul in North Korean usage. Unicode can store 죑 as one precomposed character or as equivalent jamo (individual Hangul letters); the two forms can look alike while their stored text differs.
죑 reads as a Korean syllable; its meaning depends on the Korean word it appears in.

1Why does 죑 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.
