What 켩 means
Enter ㅋ, ㅕ, ㄹ, then ㅌ in Korean input.
A 2-set keyboard is the standard Korean layout: its keys produce the letters in sequence, and the input method joins them into one block. If your app shows separate jamo (the component letters), it is displaying the pieces rather than composing the block.
What is 켩 made from?
It combines ㅋ, ㅕ, and final ㄾ.
By itself, the block does not identify a complete word; the Korean word or name around it supplies meaning. ㄾ is a complex batchim, the consonant cluster at a syllable's end. At a word end or before a consonant, it sounds like a Korean final l; before a vowel-initial ending, ㅌ moves to the next syllable.
A Hangul syllable may appear as one precomposed block like 켩 or as equivalent jamo, the individual letters. Text tools can expose either form.
Where did Hangul come from?
Hangul is a writing system created for Korean speech.
Work on Hangul was completed in 1443. Hunminjeongeum, a guide explaining the new script, introduced it publicly in 1446. The system represented Korean speech and aimed to widen access to reading and writing; later use extended to teaching, translations, practical books, and literature. Modern syllable blocks combine Hangul letters, while equivalent sequences of the individual letters can also be stored as jamo.

No. At a word end or before a consonant, it sounds like a Korean final l. Before an ending that starts with a vowel, ㅌ moves into the next syllable.
