What 켬 means
It marks the feature as on. Korean device controls use 켬 as a short state label for something switched on.
Hangul, the Korean alphabet, groups letters into syllable blocks. 켬 has three letters: ㅋ starts it, ㅕ is its vowel, and ㅁ closes it. One block is one syllable, not necessarily a whole word; 켬 can stand alone as a control label or form part of a longer word.
Why was Hangul created?
It made written Korean easier to learn. Before Hangul, Korean writers adapted Chinese characters through systems known as Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. The earliest record of Hangul’s creation is dated 1443; an explanatory book published in 1446 described its letters and how they form syllables.
Hangul appeared early in poetry, translations, and practical books. When Japan annexed Korea in 1910, Hangul lost official status; Korean scholars continued to study and teach it as part of preserving Korean language and identity.

1Why does 켬 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.
