U+101F "ဟ" Myanmar Letter Ha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+101F "ဟ" Myanmar Letter Ha is a consonant in the Myanmar script used to represent the aspirated glottal fricative sound /h/, as heard at the beginning of the English word "hat". It is a fundamental character in the Burmese language, where it functions both as a standalone consonant and as a diacritical component in stacked consonants or subscript forms. In the Myanmar writing system, this letter appears in the first row of the consonant chart and is often employed in creating initial syllables, as well as in modifying the pronunciation of other characters through breathy or aspirated qualities. Its visual form consists of a distinctive circular loop with a vertical stem, typical of the rounded aesthetic common to the Myanmar script, and it is primarily used in writing languages such as Burmese, Mon, and Shan.
