U+10796 "𐞖" Modifier Letter Small Capital H is a diacritical mark used in phonetic transcription, specifically within the International Phonetic Alphabet or related notation systems, to denote a subtle modification of the base sound, typically indicating a voiceless or breathy variant of the glottal fricative [h] or a similar aspiration. It represents a small capital form of the letter H and is classified as a spacing modifier letter, meaning it occupies its own character width rather than combining with a preceding letter.
