What 큉 means
A syllable; 한스 큉 shows it as part of a name.
Hangul was completed in 1443. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum manuscript explained the system, which let people write Korean without relying on Chinese characters.
Fonts can arrange a Hangul block’s parts differently; the character remains 큉.

1Why does 큉 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.
