What 꼬 means
The surrounding Korean word supplies the meaning.
꼬 is a sound unit, not a portable gloss. 꼬이다 can mean becoming tangled or twisted, but that meaning belongs to the full word. The block was not separately invented as an emblem; it belongs to Hangul, created in 1443.
Hangul made Korean easier to write than Chinese-character methods such as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal; its explanation appeared in 1446. Unicode records 꼬 as ᄁ ᅩ. If 꼬 appears as separate jamo, you are seeing its components, not a new meaning.

1Why does 꼬 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.
