What 낮 means
Korean neutralizes final ㅈ, ㅅ, and ㅊ to the same clipped t-like ending. Before 이, a vowel-starting grammatical ending, their sounds separate again.
A Korean Buddhist verse collection, 월인천강지곡, records the Middle Korean form transcribed as nác, meaning “daytime,” in 1447. Hangul was created to write Korean in its own alphabet rather than relying only on Chinese characters; this record dates the written word, not the spoken word’s origin.

1Why does 낮 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.
