What 깽 means
A sharp yelp, not a word with a definition. It imitates pain, strain, or a puppy's startled cry. Think “yip” rather than a general exclamation.
Doubling does the work: 깽깽 means the crying keeps going. Gyeongsang speakers can also use 깽 for the clang of 꽹. As of 2026, no defensible earliest written attestation or single inventor has been found; Unicode dating cannot date the sound-word itself.
Playful sound effect; the surrounding scene picks the exact cry.
Do not read it as a universal reaction.

1Why does 깽 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.
