What 쾞 means
It spells one Korean syllable; the word around it supplies meaning.
Hangul builds a square syllable block from an initial consonant, a vowel and sometimes a final consonant. The 쾞 decomposition is initial ㅋ, vowel ㅙ, and final cluster ㅄ. These are Hangul letter units (jamo); together they spell one syllable.
Before Hangul, Korean writing relied on Chinese characters and systems adapted from them. King Sejong devised Hangul in 1443; the 1446 book Hunminjeongeum explained the new writing system’s purpose and design. Unicode represents 쾞 either as one joined block or as the equivalent sequence of three jamo. Font design can place the parts differently; 1996 is the digital encoding date, not Hangul’s origin.

1Why does 쾞 look different in different fonts?
It can: Hangul fonts may size or place the jamo differently within the square syllable cell. That changes the appearance, while the underlying character sequence remains the same.
