Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+1E27 "" Latin Small Letter H with Diaeresis is a specialized glyph used in certain Latin-based orthographies, most notably in the Kurdish Kurmanji alphabet, where it represents a distinct sound, the voiceless pharyngeal fricative similar to the "ḥ" in Arabic. It is formed by adding a diaeresis, or two dots, above the standard lowercase letter "h" and is encoded in the Unicode Latin Extended Additional block alongside its uppercase counterpart U+1E26 "Ḧ". This character is separate from the more common "h" with a combining diaeresis, as it has a unique code point to ensure proper representation and processing in digital text systems. In practice, it appears primarily in scholarly or linguistic contexts, such as transliterations and dictionaries, rather than in everyday English usage.
