U+0125 "ĥ" Latin Small Letter H with Circumflex Unicode Character

U+0125 "ĥ" Latin Small Letter H with Circumflex is a precomposed Latin letter used primarily in the Esperanto alphabet, where it writes the phoneme /x/, a voiceless velar fricative similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch." This character is formed by combining a standard lowercase "h" with a circumflex accent placed above it, distinguishing it from a plain "h" and representing a unique sound within the language's orthography. While rare in other writing systems, "ĥ" may also appear in transliterations or linguistic contexts to indicate a specifically aspirated or modified pronunciation of the letter h.
