What 케 means
Alone, 케 gives a syllable sound, not a whole message. Hangul letters combine into blocks: ㅋ is the opening consonant, and ㅔ is the vowel.
Hangul was created in 1443, and its explanatory guide was published in 1446. The alphabet was designed to make writing Korean easier than relying on Chinese characters.
The syllable itself is neutral; 어케 is casual.
A bare 케 gives too little context to tell which word was meant.

Questions people ask
1Why does 케 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.
