What 픜 means
픜 is one Hangul syllable block, built from three Korean letters. The letters are ㅍ, ㅡ, and final ㅋ. Each block represents one syllable in Korean writing; this one does not make a complete word by itself, so the surrounding syllables carry the word’s meaning.
Hangul was developed in King Sejong’s court in 1443 and introduced in 1446 through Hunminjeongeum, a guide explaining the new letters. It offered a way to write Korean without relying on the extensive study of Chinese characters; its block form groups letters into syllables.
How to type 픜
Use a Korean IME: enter ㅍ, then ㅡ, then final ㅋ.
With Dubeolsik, the standard Korean keyboard layout, type vmz: v enters ㅍ, m enters ㅡ, and z enters ㅋ. The IME combines them into one syllable block.
Unicode also permits the syllable to be encoded as separate component letters instead of one prebuilt block. Some apps or fonts show those letters separately; that is a display difference, not a different written syllable.
A neutral piece of Korean writing: one syllable inside a word.
If it arrives alone, ask what word or passage it belongs to.

1Why does 픜 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.
