What 늋 means
늋 is a Hangul syllable block made from three letters.
The Hangul jamo, or component letters, ㄴ, ㅠ, and ㅊ fill its initial-consonant, vowel, and final-consonant positions. Hangul appears in the historical record in 1443 and was explained in the 1446 Hunminjeongeum, a book introducing the writing system. It was devised to make Korean easier to write than with Chinese characters alone. Korean writing also used Hanja (Chinese characters in Korean) and Idu (a way of writing Korean with Chinese characters); Hangul later became the main script of modern Korean.
Unicode can store this syllable as one precomposed block or as separate component letters. A process called normalization can switch between those encodings without changing the syllable; fonts may arrange the components differently.
Technical Korean text, not an emotional cue.
A bare 늋 won't reliably read as a joke or reaction.

1Why does 늋 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.
