What 끤 means
The surrounding Korean word gives 끤 its meaning. This Hangul block is assembled from ㄲ, ㅢ and ㄴ: a consonant, a vowel and a final consonant. “Ggyin” is its Unicode romanized label, not a Korean word translation.
끤 is not a one-off invented sign: its syllable-block structure belongs to Hangul, created in 1443 and introduced in the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum. The new script offered a way to write Korean suited to Korean speech. Earlier systems such as Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal adapted Chinese characters to write Korean and were difficult to learn widely.
Early Buddhist books used Hangul; later, Confucian writing and practical and government texts did too. The Korean government made Hangul an official script in 1894. Japan's annexation of Korea in 1910 ended that standing; after liberation in 1945, standardization continued.
Neutral as Korean writing; alone, 끤 reads as a syllable without a fixed word meaning.

1Why does 끤 look different in different fonts?
The character stays the same. Hangul fonts fit component strokes into a syllable block, so stroke spacing and proportions can vary.
