U+0445 "х" Cyrillic Small Letter Ha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
х
U+0445 "х" Cyrillic Small Letter Ha is a letter used in the Cyrillic script, representing the voiceless velar fricative sound similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch" or the "j" in Spanish "jalapeño." It is the twenty-third letter of the Russian alphabet and corresponds to the Latin letter "H" in transliteration, though visually it resembles a lowercase "x." This character appears in many Slavic and non-Slavic languages that use Cyrillic, including Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Kazakh, and is distinct in shape and sound from the Latin "x" or the Greek chi.
