Unicode Version 17.0
Ḩ
U+1E28 "Ḩ" Latin Capital Letter H with Cedilla is a modified letter used primarily in the transliteration of Semitic languages such as Arabic and Hebrew, where it represents a voiceless pharyngeal fricative sound, similar to the "ḥ" in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Its shape consists of a standard capital H with a small cedilla mark attached below the base, distinguishing it from a plain H in scholarly texts and linguistic notation. This character belongs to the Latin Extended Additional block and is rarely seen in common typography, typically appearing in academic works on Semitic languages, historical linguistics, or in digital representations of ancient or Middle Eastern scripts.
