What 멍 means
It means a bruise or a blank, dazed state.
As a noun, 멍 is a bruise or dopiness, as in bruise phrases. In 멍하다 and 멍하니 it describes staring blankly, stunned or spaced out.
Hangul explains the shape: the alphabet was created in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 to write Korean easily. This block stacks ㅁ, ㅓ and ㅇ into one syllable.
Ordinary Korean vocabulary, but alone it is too context-dependent for a fixed reaction.
Do not read lone 멍 as “woof”; that meaning belongs to 멍멍.

1Why does 멍 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.
