What 즄 means
It is one Hangul syllable; context gives it meaning. It combines initial consonant ㅈ, vowel ㅠ, and final consonant ㅋ. On the standard two-set Dubeolsik keyboard, type w, then b, then z; Korean input software joins them into this block.
Why was Hangul created?
Hangul was made to write Korean more directly. King Sejong completed its development in 1443, and the explanatory manuscript 훈민정음 appeared in 1446. Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters; systems such as gugyeol added marks to guide Korean reading. Gugyeol was used in the Silla period, when Korea was ruled by a kingdom of that name. Hangul groups letters into syllable blocks.
The similar-looking syllable 쥭 has a separate word history: it names a rice paddle in an example from 1446. Later spellings include 쥬게 in the 17th century, 쥬걱 in the late 18th century, and 주걱 in the 19th century.
Neutral in Korean text; outside a Korean word or sentence, it reads as an unexplained syllable.

1Why does 즄 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.
