What 뭩 means
It is a syllable block; its meaning comes from its Korean word. Fonts can draw it with different strokes, but it remains the same Hangul block.
Hangul was devised in 1443 to write Korean speech. An explanatory book, Hunminjeongeum, appeared in 1446. Hangul blocks join an initial consonant and a vowel, sometimes followed by a final consonant; the script gave Korean speech a writing system in a period when Chinese characters were used for official writing.
The related word 무엇 means “what” or “something/anything,” with sixteenth-century attestations. The short form 뭣 belongs to that word’s history; it does not make the isolated syllable 뭩 mean “what.”
Which character means “what”: 뭩 or 뭣?
뭣 shortens 무엇; 뭩 is a different syllable block.
In Korean, 무엇 can mean “what” or “something/anything.” The related form 뭐 is shortened from 무어. These word relationships explain the similar spellings, but they do not make 뭩 a reading of “what.”
If a message contains only 뭩, read it as an isolated syllable or spelling fragment; the surrounding text shows what it is doing.
It is a written syllable; any word meaning comes from the Korean text around it.
Don’t use 뭩 for “what”: the short form is 뭣, with a different final consonant.

1Why does 뭩 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.
