What 켌 means
It is a Korean syllable block; surrounding text supplies its word meaning.
It combines ㅋ as the initial consonant, ㅔ as the vowel, and final ㄽ, a cluster made from ㄹ and ㅅ. The Unicode name “Kels” labels this assembly; it does not translate a word.
Hangul’s creation in Joseon, a Korean kingdom, is recorded in Hunminjeongeum in the Sejong Sillok, a chronicle of King Sejong, in 1443. An explanatory book from 1446 describes the writing system’s purpose and how syllable blocks are assembled. Those dates document Hangul’s history, not the first use of this exact block.

1Why does 켌 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.
