What 킮 means
It spells one Korean syllable; the surrounding word provides the context. 킮 combines the initial consonant ㅋ, the vowel ㅣ, and the final cluster ㄻ (ㄹ ㅁ). If someone sends only this block, you can identify its parts but not the complete word; ask which word or name it belongs to.
In the Korean kingdom of Joseon, Hangul was devised under King Sejong so people could write Korean more easily; writing with Chinese characters was hard to learn and did not fit Korean speech well. A court record from 1443 reports the creation of Hangul's letters. The 1446 Hunminjeongeum Haerye, a book explaining Hangul, describes how consonants and vowels combine into syllable blocks.
How do I type 킮?
With Korean keyboard input, enter ㅋ, ㅣ, ㄹ, then ㅁ. A Korean input method (IME) combines ㄹ and ㅁ into the final cluster ㄻ and forms 킮.
When a vowel follows, an IME may move ㅁ into the next syllable; finish this block first if its boundary matters. Fonts can also change the spacing and outline of the same block without changing its components.

1Why does 킮 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.
