What 갴 means
It is a syllable spelling, not a word with its own definition.
Hangul syllables join jamo, or letters, into blocks: in 갴, ㄱ is the initial consonant, ㅐ the vowel, and ㅋ the final consonant.
Hangul was devised under King Sejong to make Korean writing easier to learn than Chinese-character writing. Its first record is dated 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum, whose title means roughly Correct Sounds for the Instruction of the People, appeared in 1446.
No built-in social tone; on its own, it reads as an isolated written syllable.
Alone in a message, it may look like a typo or keyboard test.

1Why does 갴 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.
