U+2C18 "Ⱈ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Heru is the uppercase form of the eighth letter in the Glagolitic alphabet, an ancient script devised by Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century to write Old Church Slavonic. Corresponding to the Latin letter H and the Cyrillic letter Х, it represents the voiceless velar fricative sound /x/ and is derived from the cursive form of the Greek letter Chi. This character was historically used in liturgical texts and manuscripts across Slavic regions before being largely supplanted by Cyrillic script. Its lowercase counterpart is U+2C38 "ⱈ".
