What 눌 means
Read the surrounding Korean; 눌 has no fixed message meaning by itself. In Korean text it is pronounced nul and usually belongs to a larger word. As a Sino-Korean reading, it can represent 訥, “mumble” or “stammer.”
Hangul was designed in 1443 and promulgated in 1446 to write Korean with assembled blocks. 눌 packs ㄴ, ㅜ, and final ㄹ into one block, and fonts may shape that block differently. The verb 누르다 built from it is first attested in 1447.

1Why does 눌 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.
