What 킔 means
킔 is a Hangul syllable block; its useful clue is its structure.
The Korean syllable is assembled from three Hangul jamo, or letter pieces: initial ㅋ, vowel ㅢ, and final cluster ㄽ. Hangul arranges these pieces together in one square block. The formal character label describes this combination rather than translating a word.
Hangul was developed under King Sejong as a more direct way to write Korean while Hanja—Chinese characters used in Korean writing—remained in use. The earliest surviving creation record dates to 1443, and the explanatory text was completed in 1446. Hangul later became the standard alphabet for Korean; these milestones date the writing system, not 킔 itself.
How do I type 킔?
Enter its Korean jamo in a Korean IME: ㅋ, ㅢ, then ㄽ.
On the standard 2-Set (Dubeolsik) Korean keyboard, type zmlft: z produces ㅋ, ml produces ㅢ, and ft produces ㄽ. The Korean IME combines the keystrokes into one syllable block. If the letters stay separate, switch to Korean input and enter the sequence again.

1Why can 킔 appear as separate jamo?
That can be the same Hangul syllable in decomposed form. Unicode supports the precomposed block or an equivalent sequence of jamo; text normalization and font shaping affect how the sequence is stored and displayed.
