Hangul Syllable Heoj

It is a spelling unit, not a dictionary definition. Each Hangul block groups letters, called jamo, to write one Korean syllable. In 헞, ㅎ is the first consonant, ㅓ the vowel, and ㅈ the final consonant; the surrounding Korean word provides its meaning.

Hangul was designed so Korean could be written directly in its own script. Earlier systems such as idu and hyangchal repurposed Chinese characters to represent Korean sounds, grammar, and poetry. Hangul organized Korean consonant and vowel letters into syllable blocks.

How do I type 헞?

Enter its consonant, vowel, and final consonant in a Korean input method. The input method combines the leading, vowel, and trailing jamo into one block as you type.

Unicode can represent the syllable as one precomposed block or as separate leading, vowel, and trailing jamo. An editor may display those pieces; NFC normalization joins them into the single block 헞.
