How did Hangul develop?

Hangul was created to write Korean directly.

Hangul's first record appears in the 1443 Sejong Sillok, the annals of King Sejong. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum publication explained the system's purpose and principles, including why Chinese characters were a poor fit for Korean. Earlier methods called idu, gugyeol, and hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean; Hangul later spread into everyday writing.

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.
