What 햬 means
On its own, 햬 is usually a syllable, not a complete Korean word.
Hangul, the Korean writing system, groups consonant and vowel letters into square syllable blocks; 햬 joins initial ㅎ and vowel ㅒ. The first official account of Hangul's creation is dated to 1443; the explanatory book Hunminjeongeum was published in 1446.
As of 2026, the National Institute of Korean Language's Korean-English Learner's Dictionary has no standalone entry for 햬. Read it as part of the Korean word around it.
How do you type 햬?
With Korean input active, type ㅎ and then ㅒ.
Why can 햬 be stored in two forms?
It can be stored as one block or as two Hangul letters.
Unicode treats 햬 and its canonical decomposition, ᄒ ᅤ, as equivalent. NFC joins the letters into one block; NFD keeps them separate. Software comparing the raw sequences may distinguish them unless it normalizes the text.
Neutral in Korean writing; alone, it reads as a spelling or input sample.

1Why does 햬 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.
