What 폽 means
Alone, 폽 gives you a syllable, not a complete word.
Hangul joins consonant and vowel letters, called jamo, into blocks. In 폽, ㅍ begins the syllable, ㅗ is its vowel, and ㅂ ends it. Surrounding syllables make the Korean word or name.
Hangul was devised in 1443 and explained in a 1446 guide called Hunminjeongeum. Its aim was to make writing Korean easier than relying on Chinese characters. Those dates belong to the writing system, not this individual block.

1Why does 폽 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.
