What 졖 means
It contributes a syllable, not a complete word meaning.
Hangul groups letters into blocks that represent syllables. 졖 has the initial ㅈ, vowel ㅖ, and final consonant ㄲ (ssanggiyeok, the doubled-ㄱ letter); a Korean word's surrounding syllables supply its meaning.
Hangul was designed to write Korean speech in a setting where Chinese characters were also used for writing. The system was recorded in 1443, and its guide, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446.

Questions people ask
1Why does 졖 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.
