What 뜶 means
It is a Korean syllable, not a word to translate. Unicode decomposes 뜶 as ᄄ + ᅳ + ᆵ: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant cluster. These building-block letters are called jamo. “Ddeulp” labels that written sequence. On a Korean 2-set (Dubeolsik) keyboard, Shift+E, M, F, V assembles it from ㄸ + ㅡ + ㄿ.
Why was Hangul created?
To make written Korean more accessible. Hangul was completed in 1443 and promulgated in 1446. Its explanation showed how consonants and vowels combine into syllable blocks, offering a more direct way to write Korean than relying on Chinese characters. Those dates describe the alphabet’s history, not a separate invention of this block.
A debated proposal links Hangul’s design to Phags-pa, a script used to write Mongolian. That proposal concerns the alphabet as a whole; it does not make 뜶 itself a borrowed character.
Neutral and technical; it identifies Korean writing, while its exact sound depends on context.

How is ㄿ pronounced?
At a word end or before another consonant, ㄿ is pronounced as a short final ㅂ, similar to a clipped “p.” In 읊다, the cluster is pronounced 읍따.
