What 쥡 means
It is one Korean syllable; the word around it supplies its meaning. The romanized Unicode name “jwib” labels the syllable; it is not an English translation.
Why are Hangul letters grouped into blocks?
Hangul arranges its letters one syllable at a time. A syllable block brings together a starting consonant, a vowel and, sometimes, a closing consonant. In 쥡, those roles belong to ㅈ, ㅟ and ㅂ.
King Sejong's court completed Hangul in 1443. The Hunminjeongeum, a guide explaining the new script, was published in 1446. Chinese characters had been used to write Korean, but represented spoken Korean less directly; Hangul offered ordinary people a more learnable way to read and write their language.
Unicode can store a Hangul syllable as one precomposed block or as separate jamo (the letters that form syllables). When a text system supports shaping, it displays a jamo sequence as one block. If the letters remain separate, the text may be decomposed or the app may not support that shaping; support for jamo shaping is less widespread than support for precomposed Hangul.
Neutral as a Hangul writing unit; the surrounding Korean word supplies its meaning.
Sent alone, it can look like an unexplained fragment of Korean.

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.
