What 픷 means
It represents a syllable; the Korean word or name supplies its meaning.
Hangul Jamo are the letters used to build syllable blocks. 픷 decomposes into ᄑ + ᅴ + ᆾ: an opening consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant. Unicode generates the name PYIC from those component names.
On a Korean 2-set (Dubeolsik) keyboard, v m l c enters ㅍ, ㅡ, ㅣ, ㅊ; the input method combines ㅡ + ㅣ into ㅢ. Hangul was devised to make Korean easier to write. Its creation is dated to 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining the writing system, was published in 1446.
Why can 픷 split into Jamo?
It is the same syllable stored in decomposed form.
Unicode NFC can recompose canonically equivalent Hangul Jamo when possible; NFD expands a precomposed syllable into Jamo. The forms can look alike while their stored sequence, string length, or search behavior differs.
If a tool needs decomposed text, use 픷; NFC can recombine that sequence as 픷.

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.
