U+021F "ȟ" Latin Small Letter H with Caron Unicode Character

U+021F "ȟ" Latin Small Letter H with Caron is a modified letter used in the transliteration and orthography of several languages, primarily representing a voiceless palatal fricative sound, similar to the "ch" in the English word "loch" but articulated further forward in the mouth. It appears in the standard writing systems of certain Finno-Ugric languages, such as Finnish Romani, and is also employed in academic transcriptions of Slavic languages like Belarusian and Ukrainian to denote the specific h-like consonant. The character is formed by combining a lowercase h with a caron, a diacritical mark resembling an inverted breve, placed above the letter to indicate its altered pronunciation.
