What 헨 means
Read it as part of the surrounding Korean word. By itself, 헨 is not a complete message.
Before Hangul, Korean writers adapted Chinese characters for Korean in systems called Idu, Gugyeol, and Hyangchal. Hangul texts expanded from Buddhist and Confucian works to practical knowledge, laws, and institutions.
Neutral as a syllable; the word supplies the tone.
