What 긺 means
It names the state or quality of being long.
The noun ending -ㅁ attaches to the adjective stem 길- (“long”). 길다 appears in the 1447 Buddhist text 석보상절; this dates the base word, not the first use of 긺.
Why is 긺 pronounced 김?
Only ㅁ is pronounced from ㄻ here.
The spelling keeps both ㄹ and ㅁ.

Questions people ask
1Why does 긺 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.
