What 쾠 means
It is a Korean syllable block, not an emoji.
Hangul writes a spoken Korean syllable as a compact block of letters. 쾠 has a beginning consonant, a vowel, and an ending consonant.
What does 쾠 mean by itself?
Its Unicode name describes how the block is built.
The block combines the initial jamo ᄏ, vowel jamo ᅫ, and final jamo ᆻ. Their familiar standalone forms are ㅋ, ㅙ, and ㅆ. Unicode forms the syllable’s name from those jamo names; the name identifies the construction, rather than defining a Korean word.
Why does Hangul use syllable blocks?
A Hangul block gathers letters into one syllable.
King Sejong introduced Hangul in 1443 to make Korean writing easier to learn. Korean was often written using Chinese characters, which were not a direct fit for its sounds. In 1446, the book Hunminjeongeum explained the script’s purpose and principles.

1Why does 쾠 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.
