𐤇

U+10907 "𐤇" Phoenician Letter Het is part of the Phoenician alphabet block and represents the eighth letter of that ancient Semitic script, corresponding to a voiced or voiceless pharyngeal fricative sound akin to a breathy "h" or "ch." Historically, this character derives from the Proto-Sinaitic glyph for "wall" or "courtyard" and is the direct ancestor of the Greek letter Eta (Η, η) as well as the Latin letters H and h, serving as a crucial link in the transmission of writing systems from the ancient Near East to the classical world and into modern Western alphabets.
