What 픽 means
A fan’s voting choice. English pick (“choose”) became casual Korean 픽; a 2017 report records it in fandom voting for contestants. 픽하다 means “to pick.”
Hangul was created in 1443; a 1446 guide explained it as a way to make Korean easier to write. A disputed theory compares some Hangul letter shapes with Phags-pa, the square Mongolian script used under Yuan rule from 1269.

1Why does 픽 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.
