Which hash function can be used to get $w=H(d)\in F^n$ case?

I am trying to implement a cryptographic scheme. For a arbitrary message $d$ , I need a Hash Function $\mathbb{H}$ that can compute the hash value $w=\mathbb{H}(d)\in \mathbb{F}^n$. Here $F$ is a finite field of order four.

I can not find any hash function which outputs field values.

Can someone please help and show me the right direction?

You need to make your question more precise. There is always the trivial hash function that maps very w to the zero vector of F^n. What properties should your hash function satisfy ?
