Unicode Version 17.0

ح

U+062D "ح" Arabic Letter Hah is a consonant in the Arabic alphabet representing the voiceless pharyngeal fricative sound /ħ/, a guttural sound that does not exist in English. It is the sixth letter of the standard Arabic alphabet and is frequently used in written Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and other languages that employ the Arabic script. The character is written in a cursive form that connects to both preceding and following letters, and it is distinct from the similar-looking letter Hah (ه) by having a small, open loop in its isolated shape rather than a closed one.
