What 룘 means
Its meaning depends on Korean context. ㄹ begins the block, ㅛ is its vowel, and ㄽ its final consonant cluster.
The Sejong Sillok, a royal court chronicle, records Hangul’s creation in 1443. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum book explains how its letters write Korean speech.
What changed in Hangul over time?
The block design stayed; standard letters changed.
Hangul’s first letter set was larger than today’s. Modern Korean spelling rules were drafted in 1933 and revised in 1988; these dates describe the writing system, not 룘’s origin.

1Why does 룘 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.
