What 풀 means
It can mean grass or glue; the surrounding word decides.
풀밭 means “grass field”; 접착 풀 means “adhesive paste.”
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, was devised in 1443 to help people read and write Korean; its principles were explained in 1446. Unicode decomposition encodes 풀 as three conjoining letters; with Korean text shaping, they can still appear as one block. Two Korean books preserve older spellings: Seokbo sangjeol (1447) uses 플 for grass; Gugeupbang eonhae (1466) for glue.
Neutral vocabulary; the sentence supplies any attitude.
A bare 풀 leaves grass versus glue unresolved.

1Why does 풀 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.
