What 휁 means
It is a Hangul syllable block, not a complete expression. Unicode’s underlying sequence is ᄒ ᅰ ᆬ: three Hangul letters, called jamo, that form one block. In compatibility forms, the same parts are ㅎ ㅞ ㄵ.
Hangul was designed to write Korean. Its creation is recorded in 1443; Hunminjeongeum, a book explaining how the new writing system works, was published in 1446. It offered a way to write Korean sounds with letters joined into syllable blocks, alongside the older practice of writing largely with Classical Chinese characters.
How do I type 휁?
Use Korean input; it assembles the parts as you type.
On the standard Korean 2-set keyboard, type g n p s w while Korean input is active. The input method combines the letters into one syllable block as you type, so the display can change as the vowel and final cluster form.
This is a keyboard sequence, not the Latin spelling hwenj: g gives ㅎ; n p forms ㅞ from ㅜ ㅔ; and s w forms ㄵ from ㄴ ㅈ. Other Korean layouts may use different keys.

Questions people ask
1Why does 휁 split into jamo?
It is a representation difference: Unicode can store 휁 as one precomposed block or as 휁, three building-block letters called jamo. In the decomposed form, they can appear apart if the font or app does not shape Hangul correctly.
