hangul syllable myeon

Hangul syllable Myeon

3701/11172

면 is the Hangul syllable myeon; alone, it has no single meaning. In Korean words, it can be the ending -면 (“if/when”) or spell a reading of Hanja (Chinese characters used in Korean), including 面 (“face/surface”) and 麵 (“noodles”). Hangul was created as a sound-based script in the 15th century; earlier Korean writing adapted Chinese characters through idu, hyangchal, and gugyeol, with Silla evidence for idu by the mid-sixth century.

Why does 면 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.
