What 힄 means
It is a Hangul syllable block, not a standalone word. Its parts are ㅎ (the initial consonant), ㅢ (the vowel), and ㅋ (the final consonant); these component letters are called jamo. The word around the block supplies its meaning.
Hangul was devised under King Sejong in 1443 and promulgated in 1446. Its alphabet gave people a way to write Korean with consonant and vowel letters rather than relying only on Chinese characters. Older Hangul texts often ran vertically and could mix Hangul with Hanja, the Chinese characters used in Korean writing; modern Korean is usually horizontal. The syllable-block structure has remained.
How do I type 힄?
A Korean IME (input method) assembles the block from its letters. The 2-beolsik keystrokes are gmlz; they enter ㅎ ㅡ ㅣ ㅋ, with the input method joining the two vowels as ㅢ.
Unicode also supports this text as one precomposed syllable or as an equivalent sequence of separate jamo; normalization can treat the forms alike. Fonts set the letters’ spacing and proportions, and missing-glyph fallback may change the drawing without changing the character.

1Why does 힄 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.
