If you mean its reading, only kanji can differ when inside a compound word and when alone. Kana [hiragana & katakana] are read the same no matter where they are.

Kanji usually have one or more "on'yomi" [Chinese reading] as well as "kun'yomi" [Japanese reading], it's not a rule but more often on'yomi is used in compound nouns and kun'yomi when the kanji is single.
