What 솖 means
It joins an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final cluster.
Unicode separates 솖 into ᄉ ᅩ ᆱ. In familiar isolated letter forms, these are ㅅ, ㅗ, and ㄻ; the last is the two-consonant cluster at the end of the syllable. Together, they form one Hangul syllable block.
Why was Hangul created?
To make Korean writing easier to learn.
Before Hangul, Korean speakers relied on Chinese characters and adapted methods to represent their language. In 1443, King Sejong created Hangul, called 훈민정음 (“Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People”). A 1446 book with that title explained the script’s purpose and principles.

Questions people ask
1Why does 솖 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.
