What 텅 means
It makes emptiness feel complete and exposed. With 비다 (“to be empty”) or 빈 (“empty”), 텅 describes a room, container, wallet, or contents as stripped of what should be there. With 마음 (“heart or mind”), it describes an emotionally hollow or lonely feeling. Repeating 텅 strengthens the impression.
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, was created in 1443 and its guiding principles explained in 1446 to make Korean easier to write. Each block groups a starting consonant and a vowel, with an optional final consonant; 텅 follows this pattern.
Everyday, emphatic wording for an emptiness that feels exposed.

1Why does 텅 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.
