What 탄 means
탄 has no one fixed translation by itself.
Hangul builds syllable blocks from small letters called jamo. The word and sentence around 탄 determine its meaning.
King Sejong devised Hangul in 1443, first called Hunminjeongeum. A 1446 book with that name explained it. Hangul made Korean easier to write than earlier Chinese-character methods such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal.

1Why does 탄 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.
