What 킀 means
Read 킀 as Korean spelling: it represents a syllable.
Hangul builds syllable blocks from Jamo, the script’s component letters. Unicode’s canonical sequence for this block is ᄏ ᅳ ᆻ (initial consonant, vowel, final consonant); a Korean input method uses ㅋ ㅡ ㅆ. The meaning comes from the surrounding word.
Hangul was created in 1443 and introduced in 1446 through the Hunminjeongeum, a guide that explained the new script. It was designed to make Korean easier to write than Chinese characters. A possible influence from Phags-pa, a script used in the Mongol Empire, remains disputed; that debate concerns Hangul’s broader design, not a documented origin for this block.

1Why does 킀 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.
