Check the definition of the fields in SE11. I think that difference is obvious, to be honest with you.

MSEHI is of type UNIT (3 characters)

MSEHT is of type CHAR (10 characters).

MSEHI is sort of an abbreviation or a code, if you will, for the unit of measure. MSEHT is the text that further explains what that unit is (it may also be used to maintain texts in different languages). For example, for a common unit of weight used in the US the fields could be:

MSEHI = 'LB'

MSEHT = 'Pound'.

Hope this explains it.
