U+1E24 "Ḥ" Latin Capital Letter H with Dot Below Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ḥ
U+1E24 "Ḥ" Latin Capital Letter H with Dot Below is a specialized letter used primarily in the transliteration and transcription of languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, and Sanskrit, where it represents a voiceless pharyngeal or velar fricative sound distinct from the standard English H. In Arabic transliteration, it corresponds to the letter Ḥāʼ (ح), while in Hebrew it represents Ḥet (ח), each indicating a throaty articulation made by constricting the pharynx. This character is formed by combining the base Latin capital letter H with a combining dot below (U+0323), and it is essential for accurate linguistic representation in scholarly works, biblical studies, and linguistic documentation.
