What 갣 means
갣 is one Korean syllable, so its meaning needs context.
The block combines three Hangul letters, called jamo: ㄱ is the initial consonant, ㅐ the vowel, and ㄷ the final consonant. A Korean word or sentence around it supplies the meaning in translation. With Korean input set to the standard two-set layout (Dubeolsik), press R, O, then E; the input method assembles 갣.
The earliest record of Hunminjeongeum, the work introducing Hangul, is dated 1443; its explanatory book was published in 1446. Hangul was designed to give Korean speech a systematic written form, grouping consonants and vowels into syllable blocks. These dates mark the writing system’s introduction and explanation, not a separate invention of 갣.
Is 갣 an emoji?
No. 갣 is Korean text, not an emoji. Its outline is drawn by the active font; another font may change the shape without changing the character.

1Why does 갣 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.
