What 왣 means
It has no standalone meaning; it is one Korean syllable block.
왣 joins initial ㅇ, vowel ㅙ and final consonant ㄷ into one block. In Korean Revised Romanization, which writes Korean in Latin letters, final ㄷ is written d before a vowel and t before a consonant or at a word end. The Hangul spelling stays the same.
Before Hangul, Korean writers used Chinese characters and adaptations such as Idu, Gugyeol and Hyangchal—systems that repurposed Chinese characters for Korean words and grammar. These were hard to learn and did not fit Korean neatly, so Hangul offered a more accessible way to write the language. Its earliest official record of creation is from December 1443; the Hunminjeongeum, a guide to the script, followed in 1446. Early Hangul appeared in Buddhist and Confucian works as well as practical and legal texts. It became Korea’s official national writing system in 1894. These dates trace the wider script, not this individual syllable.
Neutral inside Korean writing; alone, it is a bare syllable without a word-level meaning.

1Why does 왣 sometimes split into separate letters?
A text system may store it in decomposed form as `왣`. These are position-specific Hangul letters, called jamo; fonts and apps shape them into a syllable block when supported. The split display changes the encoding form, not the Korean syllable.
