U+0126 "Ħ" Latin Capital Letter H with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ħ
U+0126 "Ħ" Latin Capital Letter H with Stroke is a distinct letter in the Latin alphabet primarily used in the Maltese language, where it represents a voiceless pharyngeal fricative sound similar to a strongly aspirated "h". It consists of a standard capital H with a horizontal bar through its middle, resembling a stylized crossbar, and is integral to Maltese orthography where it distinguishes words from those with a plain H. Beyond Maltese, this character appears in some transliteration systems and other languages, such as in the African reference alphabet, to denote a specific phonetic value that differs from the standard English H.
