The gravitational constant was found by Newton, not Einstein.
6.67*10-11 Nm2 Kg-2
Cavendish measured the gravitational constant "G".
The gravitational constant "G" is the same everywhere. The force of gravity on the moon, expressed as the acceleration of a falling body is 1.62 metres/sec2. compared with 9.81 m/s2 on the earth.
The exact value is not know but it is approx 6.67408*10^(-11) m^3kg^(-1)s^(-2)
The gravitational constant was found by Newton, not Einstein.
Although Newton included the gravitational constant in his law of universal gravitational constant, its value was not determined until some 70 odd years after his death, when Henry Cavendish measured it in 1798.

Cavendish
Cavendish used a torsion balance apparatus, known as the Cavendish experiment, to determine the value for Newton's universal gravitational constant. The apparatus consists of a light rod suspended from a thin wire, with two small lead spheres mounted on either end of the rod. By measuring the twisting of the wire due to the gravitational force between the spheres, Cavendish was able to calculate the value of the gravitational constant.
There are several different universal constants: Avogadro's number, Gas constant, Gravitational constant. The question needs to be more specific.
Height= GPE/gravitational constant(mass)
In physics, G usually refers to the gravitational constant, which is a fundamental constant that appears in the law of universal gravitation equation. The value of the gravitational constant is approximately 6.674 × 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2.

I think that g (the gravitational constant) varies dependent on your proximity to other massive bodies. For example the value of g on the moon is less than the value of g on earth. It is not constant throughout the universe.
