What 헻 means
It marks one written syllable; the Korean word around it supplies meaning. Its basic Hangul letters, called jamo, are ㅎ, ㅔ and ㅊ: an initial consonant, a vowel and a final consonant. “Hec” in the Unicode name identifies that sequence; it is a structural label, not a translation.
Before Hangul, Korean writing used Chinese characters and adapted systems such as idu, hyangchal and gugyeol for writing Korean. Hangul was created in 1443 to fit Korean and make writing easier to learn; the text Hunminjeongeum, which introduced the system, was promulgated in 1446.

1Why does 헻 look different in another font?
It can. Hangul fonts vary in the shape and spacing of letters inside blocks. Text can also store the same syllable as separate jamo—the basic Hangul letters—which a font assembles when displaying it.
