U+0D39 "ഹ" Malayalam Letter Ha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+0D39 "ഹ" Malayalam Letter Ha is the thirty-third consonant in the Malayalam abugida, representing the unaspirated voiced glottal fricative sound /h/. It is a fundamental element of the Dravidian language, used in a wide range of common words both inherited from the native vocabulary and in loanwords from Sanskrit and English. In its conjunct forms, this character can be modified with visible vowel signs above, below, or around it to produce different syllable sounds, while an explicit virama or vowel killer attached to the bottom renders it as a pure consonant without an inherent vowel.
