"Hey, Amateur Extra, pick a 1x2!" callsigns (like yours, Kim) show up
in ULS as "HA".  Calls bought since the Vanity Program started in the
early/mid-1990s show as "HV".

BTW, the FCC has STILL not implements the $35 application fee despite
publishing a notice in the Federal Register saying that they would do
so last month.  If you are considering a Vanity Callsign, NOW is the
time to start that process to save yourself $35 ...
