What 헧 means
One Korean syllable block; context gives it meaning.
It combines initial consonant ㅎ, vowel ㅔ, and final cluster ᆪ (ㄱ+ㅅ). Alone, it is an unfinished spelling fragment.
Hangul was created in 1443 under the original name 훈민정음; a guide published in 1446 explained its letters. It was designed to make Korean easier to write than Chinese characters, but became Korea’s official national script only in 1894.

1Why does 헧 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.
