What 뮍 means
뮍 is one Korean syllable block built from three Hangul letters.
Hangul's basic letters are called jamo. In 뮍, ᄆ is the initial consonant, ᅱ the vowel, and ᆬ the final consonant. Unicode's algorithmic name Mwinj lists those parts; it describes the block's structure rather than translating it into English.
Why are Hangul letters grouped into blocks?
Hangul puts a syllable's consonants and vowel into one block.
Hangul, originally called Hunminjeongeum, was created in the Korean kingdom of Joseon in 1443; a book explaining its sounds and design followed in 1446. The name Hangeul appears in records from the early 1910s and spread widely after 1928. A 1933 draft unified modern Korean spelling; Unicode's precomposed syllables follow the 1992 Korean standard KS C 5601. Unicode can also represent many older syllables as sequences of jamo. This is the script's history, not an origin date for this individual block.
Neutral in Korean text; the character alone adds no special tone.

It can. Hangul fonts may change the jamo's shape, size, and position inside the square block. The glyph can look different while keeping the same character identity.
