What 넿 means
The attested numeral includes an extra mark: 넿〯.
A mid-15th-century Middle Korean list records that sequence for four. Its number reading belongs to the full marked form, not the bare syllable alone. Modern Korean writes four as 넷.
Why does 넿 form a single block?
It is a Hangul syllable assembled from three letters.
ㄴ is its initial consonant, ㅔ its vowel, and ㅎ its final consonant. Hangul syllable blocks arrange these parts as one unit.
Hangul was created in 1443, and its explanatory guide appeared in 1446. Before Hangul, Korean writers used Chinese characters and Korean systems adapted from them, including idu, hyangchal, and gugyeol.

1Why does 넿 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.
