What 롶 means
It’s one Korean syllable block used to spell part of a word.
Hangul letters are called jamo. A computer can store 롶 as one ready-made block or as ᄅ ᅩ ᇁ: a starting consonant, a vowel and an ending consonant. The English label “Rop” is assembled from those letter names, not translated; the Korean word around it supplies the meaning.
Hangul was designed to represent Korean speech with alphabetic letters, including where Chinese characters did not fit Korean well. Work on the script was complete in 1443; an explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, introduced it in 1446. The script is called Hangul in South Korea and Chosŏn'gŭl in North Korea.
why does 롶 look different?
Fonts arrange and draw the letters in the block differently.
A Hangul syllable packs its letters into a square cell. Unicode defines the components, but a font chooses their shape, size and placement; the final letter may look different across fonts, so compare its consonant form rather than the outline.
A neutral spelling unit inside a Korean word; it has no special tone by itself.

1Why does 롶 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.
