Does 뷷 mean anything by itself?

Read it as a spelling unit, not a complete message.

A Hangul block brings together an opening consonant, a vowel, and an ending consonant or consonant cluster. Korean words combine blocks like this, so the surrounding spelling shows which word it belongs to.

What is the history behind this kind of block?

Hangul was designed to make writing Korean easier to learn.

The earliest recorded reference to its creation dates to 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum Haerye followed in 1446. Hangul combines letters into syllable blocks, a more direct way to write Korean speech than using Chinese characters, which many people could not read.

Before Hangul, Idu, Hyangchal, and Gugyeol adapted Chinese characters to write Korean. Hangul later appeared alongside Hanja, the Chinese characters used in Korean writing, and in government, Buddhist, literary, private, and legal texts. Its use was not limited to women's writing.
