What 만 means
Context separates the number from “only.”
Before 원 in prices, 만 marks 10,000 won; after a noun, 나만 means “only me.” Hanja 萬 means “ten thousand”; 灣 means “bay.”
Where did 만 come from?
Hangul was created for Korean speech.
Its first record is dated 1443; the Hunminjeongeum guide explained it in 1446. Seokbo sangjeol, a Korean Buddhist text, used Hangul for translation in 1447. Those dates concern the script, not the first appearance of 만.

Questions people ask
1Why does 만 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.
