What 핖 means
핖 is one Korean syllable, not a complete word on its own.
It joins ㅍ, the vowel ㅣ, and a final ㅍ. For an English reader, its sound is roughly “pip,” with the vowel of “see”; the final consonant closes the Korean syllable. Korean words and sentences supply the meaning.
Hangul was devised in 1443 as a writing system for Korean; its consonants and vowels are arranged into square syllable blocks. 핖 follows that writing system.
why does 핖 look different in different fonts?
Fonts change its drawing, not which character it is. Hangul components sit inside a square syllable cell, and fonts can change their shape, size, and placement. That is ordinary text rendering.
Neutral within Korean spelling; by itself, 핖 reads as an unexplained syllable.
If you send 핖 alone, the recipient gets a syllable without the Korean word that gives it meaning.

1Why does 핖 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.
