U+05D7 "ח" Hebrew Letter Het Unicode Character

U+05D7 "ח" Hebrew Letter Het is the eighth letter of the Hebrew alphabet, representing a guttural, voiceless fricative sound produced in the pharynx. In modern Hebrew, it is commonly pronounced like the German "ch" in "Bach" or the Spanish "j" in "Javier". It has a numerical value of eight in gematria, the Jewish system of assigning numeric value to letters, and appears in words such as "chayim" (life) and "chachma" (wisdom). The letter is also used in Hebrew scripture and liturgical texts, where it often carries a dot called a mappiq to indicate a hard pronunciation in certain contexts.
