What 캄 means
Its meaning depends on the Korean word around it. In 캄캄하다, repetition can describe literal darkness or a bleak outlook.
King Sejong's Hangul project began in 1443 to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese-character-based methods. The guide Hunminjeongeum appeared in 1446.
Hangul groups letters into syllable blocks: ㅋ starts 캄, ㅏ is its vowel, and ㅁ ends it.

1Why does 캄 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.
