What 샎 means
It is a Korean syllable block made from three jamo.
Its pieces are ㅅ ㅐ ㄶ: an initial consonant, a vowel and a compound final consonant. Hangul's consonant and vowel letters are called jamo and are arranged into square syllable blocks. An IME can compose this block from those pieces; Unicode can also decompose it into jamo, while fonts vary in how they draw its proportions.
In the 15th century, Hangul was developed in Korea as an alphabet for writing Korean. It represented Korean more directly than Hanja, the Chinese characters also used in Korean writing. 샎 follows that regular system: its shape comes from arranging letters, not from a separate sign for an object or idea.
How does 샎 sound inside a Korean word?
The final ㄶ changes sound according to what follows.
ㄶ is a compound final consonant made from ㄴ and ㅎ. Before another consonant, it usually leaves an n sound at the end; ㅎ can also make a following plain consonant breathier. Before a vowel, ㄴ links to it and ㅎ is silent.
Neutral within Korean writing; alone, it reads like a fragment rather than an expressive reaction.

1Why does 샎 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.
