U+0780 "ހ" Thaana Letter Haa is the first letter of the Thaana script, which is used to write the Dhivehi language spoken in the Maldives. It represents the voiceless glottal fricative sound /h/, similar to the English ‘h’ in “hat,” and is written with a distinctive hooked shape that curves upward and to the left. As the initial character in the Thaana alphabet, it holds a foundational role in Dhivehi orthography, appearing in many common words and names, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and text processing for Maldivian linguistic heritage.
