Hovered over the words with my dictionary extension to find that they're also referred to as "jabberwocky words" which I personally think is a more apt name.
Interestingly, the dictionary also gives them readings. I wonder how they come up with them?

- lifthrasiir 8y agoThe reading カ derives from the phono-semantic analysis (the same reading as 哥). The origin of the reading セイ is much unclear, the first known attestation comes from IBM's conversion table [1].

- Grue3 8y agoThe readings look like they come from http://nihongo.monash.edu/kanjidic2/index.html http://nihongo.monash.edu/kanjidic2/index.html so it's better to ask on their mailing list. My webapp also uses kanjidic and therefore has the same description for this character: https://ichi.moe/cl/kanji/?q=%E5%BD%81 https://ichi.moe/cl/kanji/?q=%E5%BD%81
