What 헂 means
It contributes a syllable sound; context supplies meaning.
Its jamo decomposition is ㅎ ㅒ final ㅈ: a starting consonant, vowel, then ending consonant.
Hangul was devised in 1443 to make Korean speech easier to write than Chinese characters allowed; its Hunminjeongeum guide appeared in 1446. That is the alphabet’s history, not a special origin for 헂.
