What 맸 means
It is the contracted past of 매다, “to tie” or “fasten.” 매었다 contracts to 맸다; 매다 can also mean weeding a field, so read the whole word.
The verb is old: its earliest cited Middle Korean form is ᄆᆡ다 (1447). Hangul itself was created in 1443 and explained in 1446 to write Korean speech directly. This block just stacks ㅁ ㅐ ㅆ, normal Hangul composition, not a picture.
Neutral in Korean prose; alone, it looks unfinished.
For carrying on the shoulder, use 멨, not 맸.

1Why does 맸 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.
