What 눅 means

Alone, 눅 reads like an unfinished fragment. The full word 눅눅하다 describes something damp or soggy; 눅이다 can mean “soften something” or “ease a mood.”

Hangul groups Korean consonants and vowels into syllable blocks. The Sejong Sillok, a royal chronicle, records the script in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a guide to it, followed in 1446. A Korean IME joins ㄴ, ㅜ and final ㄱ in that order. Fonts may space the parts differently without changing the syllable.

Neutral Korean syllable; alone, it reads like a word fragment.

By itself in a message, 눅 can look unfinished.

Why does 눅 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.
