What 켤 means
It has no fixed meaning outside the word or grammar around it. Read the host phrase: 켤레 is a pair-counting noun, while 전등을 켤 필요 uses 켤 as 켜다’s future modifier.
Hangul’s first recorded creation notice is from 1443. Its 1446 explanatory text describes combining initial, medial, and final sounds into syllables to represent Korean speech distinct from Chinese. That makes 켤 part of a writing system connected to component letters and neighboring syllable blocks, not an independent pictorial tradition. As of 2026, the opened references do not establish a separate historical meaning for isolated 켤.

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.
