Why was Hangul created?

Hangul was devised to write Korean. Its original name, Hunminjeongeum (“proper sounds for teaching the people”), appears in a 1443 record; its explanatory book was published in 1446.

Other names included jeongeum, eonmun, and banjeol; after 1894, gukmun and gukseo were common. Records suggest Hangeul appeared in the early 1910s and spread after the holiday was renamed Hangeulnal in 1928.

Neutral in Korean writing; alone, it lacks context.

Why does 쇯 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.
