What 썹 means
Its meaning comes from the whole Korean word.
15th-century records spell 눈썹 as 눈섭.
Hangul was devised in 1443 to make Korean writing accessible and explained in a royal guide in 1446. In 16th-century spelling, 눈섭 became 눈썹 with the stronger double consonant ㅆ; its meaning, “eyebrow,” stayed.
Neutral inside words; alone, 썹 has no reliable tone.

1Why does 썹 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.
