It shows how the Korean word 뭣 is pronounced.
뭣 is a shortened spelling of 무엇. The National Institute of Korean Language’s Basic Korean Dictionary lists 뭗 as its pronunciation, so 뭗 marks the sound while 뭣 writes the word.
Hangul was developed under King Sejong of the Korean Joseon kingdom in 1443; the 1446 book 훈민정음 (“Proper Sounds for the Instruction of the People”) explained its purpose and principles. Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters and methods adapted from them. Hangul arranges consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks, and 뭗 is one such combination.
