U+04BA "Һ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Shha is a distinct letter used in several Cyrillic-based alphabets, most notably in the Bashkir, Kalmyk, and Kazakh languages, where it represents a voiceless glottal fricative sound similar to the English "h" in "house". Its shape resembles the Latin letter "H" but is classified within the Cyrillic block, and it should not be confused with the similar-looking "Shha" used in other contexts. The lowercase form of this character is U+04BB "һ", and its inclusion in Unicode ensures that these languages can be digitally represented and processed consistently across different platforms.
