What 녚 means
It is read nyeop; the surrounding Korean word supplies its meaning.
Its three parts are ᄂ (initial consonant ㄴ), ᅧ (vowel ㅕ), and ᇁ (final consonant ㅍ). In the lookalike 녑, the final consonant is ㅂ instead; Latin romanization can hide the difference, so compare the final Hangul letter.
Hangul was devised as a systematic writing system for Korean that ordinary people could learn and use. The first record of its creation is dated to 1443; a book from 1446 records its purpose, design principles, and use. The Korean word 옆 (“side”) has an older spelling 녑. Its meaning widened from the side of the body to sides of objects in the 17th century, then to nearby areas after the 18th century. That is the history of 녑 and 옆, not 녚; compare final ㅂ with 녚’s ㅍ.

녚\B15AWhy is 녚 a box on my screen?
fsymbols draws rare signs with its own fonts, so they show here even where your device has none. An app or website without such a font shows an empty box (□) or a question mark instead. Turn our fonts off to see each sign as your device draws it by itself: a box here means a box in your chats and documents too.
