What 룂 means
It is a Hangul syllable block, not a standard chat reaction.
Its jamo—the Korean letters that combine into syllable blocks—are ㄹ at the start, ㅚ as the vowel, and ㅄ at the end. That decomposition explains the spelling; it does not give the block a separate social meaning.
Hangul was created in 1443, and its explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, was published in 1446. The script offered a practical way to write Korean, including for people who found Chinese characters difficult. Unicode's 1996 date marks computer encoding, not Hangul's origin.
How do I type 룂?
A standard two-set Korean keyboard composes it from its parts.
On the standard two-set Korean layout, Dubeolsik, type fhlqt: ㄹ + ㅗ + ㅣ + ㅂ + ㅅ. A Korean IME (keyboard-input software) combines ㅗ and ㅣ into ㅚ, then ㅂ and ㅅ into final ㅄ.
When text is normalized into a standard form, NFC can store 룂 as one precomposed block; NFD stores the same syllable as separate jamo. Both represent the same Korean spelling.
Why can 룂 look different across fonts?
A font draws its outline, so the visible shape can vary.
A font with Hangul coverage draws this block; another may use a fallback font or show a missing-glyph box. Those display changes do not alter the character.
Technical; it fits Hangul input, sample text, or a discussion of Korean writing.
Sent alone, it may read as a typo or unexplained Korean text.

1Why does 룂 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.
