What 졑 means

졑 is one Hangul block made from three letters. Hangul packs consonants and vowels into syllable blocks; its jamo (component letters) here are ㅈ ㅕ ㅌ.

Hangul was created to write Korean directly; its preface says Korean speech differs from Chinese. Its original name, Hunminjeongeum, also titles its explanatory book. Other names included jeongeum, eonmun, and banjeol; after 1894, gukmun and gukseo became common. Hangeul appears in early-1910s records, though its first use is disputed; it was widespread by 1928.

Why does 졑 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.
