What 힋 means
힋 is one Korean syllable block. Its jamo (Korean letter parts) are ㅎ ㅣ ㄳ: an initial consonant, a vowel, and a final consonant cluster. The block is a spelling unit; read its sound within a Korean word, rather than as a complete word meaning.
How do I type 힋?
A Korean input method builds 힋 from its jamo in order. An input method editor (IME) is the keyboard software for Korean: enter ㅎ, then ㅣ, then ㄱ and ㅅ to form the final cluster. Unicode text normalization can change the representation: NFC composes the jamo into a block; NFD represents the same syllable as separate jamo.
Fonts can place and resize the components differently inside the square-shaped syllable block. That changes the drawing, not the character.
When did Hangul take shape?
Hangul took shape as a way to write Korean speech. Records from late 1443 and 1446 mark its creation; the 1446 Hunminjeongeum Haerye is an explanatory manuscript about the new alphabet. Hangul arranges consonant and vowel letters into syllable-sized blocks.
Korean writing also used hanja, Chinese characters used in Korean texts. A block like 힋 is assembled from Korean letters rather than copied from a specific hanja character. A 1933 unified spelling proposal helped consolidate modern Korean spelling.

1Why does 힋 look different in different fonts?
It is still the same character: Hangul fonts can place and resize its component letters differently inside the square syllable block. Changes in shape or spacing do not create a different character.
