What 뎂 means
It is one Hangul syllable block, built from ㄷ, ㅔ and ㅄ.
These jamo (Hangul letters) are an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant cluster (two consonants at the syllable's end). The block spells one Korean syllable; in a Korean word, the rest of that word makes the meaning clear.
Hangul was developed as a writing system for Korean speech. The earliest recorded announcement appears in King Sejong's court records in 1443. A guide published in 1446, Hunminjeongeum, explains the script's purpose and design: representing Korean more directly than Chinese characters could. The script also went by Hunminjeongeum, jeongeum, eonmun, gukmun and gukseo. The name Hangeul appears in the early 1910s and was widely used by 1928; these are names for the script, not translations of 뎂.
How do I type 뎂?
Use a Korean IME to enter ㄷ, ㅔ, then ㅄ. A Korean IME is keyboard software that combines Hangul letters into a syllable block; exact key positions depend on the layout. The final cluster may remain separate until the block is committed.
Hangul fonts arrange the components within the block differently, so the same syllable can look wider or more or less balanced across typefaces. That changes its appearance, not the text character.
Neutral in Korean text. Sent alone, it can feel cryptic because a syllable block usually belongs inside a word.
By itself, it may look like an unexplained fragment, not a clear reaction.

1Why does 뎂 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.
