What 릸 means
It records a syllable, not a word definition. Its Hangul parts are initial consonant ㄹ, vowel ㅣ, and final cluster ㄽ.
Hangul was created in 1443; its principles appeared in 1446 in Hunminjeongeum. It let Koreans write their language without relying on Chinese characters. Earlier methods—idu, gugyeol, and hyangchal—used Chinese characters to write Korean. Modern spelling follows a 1933 draft, partly revised in 1988.

1Why does 릸 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.
