What 눼 means

By itself, 눼 has no fixed message meaning.

Hangul builds square syllable blocks from consonant and vowel letters: 눼 joins the initial consonant ᄂ and vowel ᅰ. Hangul was devised in 1443 and formally explained in 1446. Korean writing also used Hanja (Chinese characters) and systems such as Idu and Gugyeol. Those systems adapted Chinese characters for Korean; they are historical context, not ancestors of 눼.

Why does 눼 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.
