U+2C68 "ⱨ" Latin Small Letter H with Descender Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+2C68 "ⱨ" Latin Small Letter H with Descender is a modified letter used in the Latin script for specific phonetic or orthographic purposes, most notably in the transcription of certain languages such as those of the Caucasus region, including Udi and other Northeast Caucasian languages. Its distinguishing feature, the descender extending below the baseline, typically indicates a particular sound change or a distinct phoneme, such as a voiced or ejective consonant, that differs from a standard Latin letter h. This character is part of the Latin Extended-C block and is employed by linguists and language revitalization efforts to accurately represent sounds that are not found in standard European alphabets, thereby supporting precise written communication in underdocumented languages.
