What 뷩 means
Its role is to spell one Korean syllable. Hangul combines consonant and vowel letters into blocks; this one combines ㅂ, ㅟ, and ㅇ.
King Sejong's alphabet gave Korean speech a writing system alongside Chinese characters. It was completed in 1443 and promulgated in 1446; modern spelling followed a 1933 proposal, revised in 1988.
Neutral within Korean writing; cryptic when sent alone.

1Why does 뷩 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.
