What 뗖 means
It has no fixed standalone translation.
Unicode's name Ddep describes the block's parts: ㄸ is the initial consonant, ㅔ the vowel, and ㅍ the final consonant. These Hangul building letters are called jamo. The name is structural, not a translation. On a standard 2-set Korean keyboard, press ShiftE, P, then V to compose the block.
The dates belong to Hangul as a writing system: the first surviving record of its creation dates to late 1443, and an explanatory work was completed in 1446 after refinement.
Why was Hangul built this way?
It made Korean easier to write and learn.
Before Hangul, Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal were writing methods that adapted Chinese characters to represent Korean.
Hangul arranged a small set of consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks, giving writers a more direct way to represent Korean speech. It became Korea's official national writing system in 1894.
Neutral in Korean writing; its meaning depends on the Korean word around it.
Don't infer a full message from this block alone; read the surrounding Korean word.

Questions people ask
1Why does 뗖 sometimes split into jamo?
Usually, it is the same syllable represented as separate Hangul letters called jamo, not a different reading. NFD stores those parts separately; NFC composes them into one syllable block. Unicode text layout says a composed Korean syllable block should not break internally.
