What 껄 means
By itself, 껄 does not have one fixed meaning in Korean.
In 껄껄, repeating the syllable writes hearty laughter. A Korean grammar ending that sounds like 껄 is conventionally spelled ㄹ걸, not ㄹ껄.
Hangul, the Korean writing system, was created in 1443 to write Korean; a 1446 book explained its purpose and principles. Hangul became the official Korean writing system in 1894 and lost that status in 1910, under Japanese rule. 껄 combines ㄲ, ㅓ, and ㄹ.
Read 껄 within its Korean word or grammar ending; context supplies its meaning.
ㄹ걸 or ㄹ껄? For the grammar ending, write -ㄹ걸; 껄껄 spells laughter.

1Why does 껄 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.
