What 늑 means
Its meaning depends on the Korean word around it. Dictionaries also list 늑 as a word-forming root and a Korean reading of Hanja, Chinese characters used in Korean.
Hangul was devised in 1443 and explained in Hunminjeongeum, a guide published in 1446 to make Korean writing more accessible. It later appeared in religious, practical, and everyday texts; it received official recognition in 1894.
The character is neutral; its word sets the register.

1Why does 늑 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.
