U+1E29 "ḩ" Latin Small Letter H with Cedilla Unicode Character

U+1E29 "ḩ" Latin Small Letter H with Cedilla is a modified version of the standard Latin letter H, distinguished by a small cedilla mark placed beneath it. This character is primarily used in the transliteration of Semitic languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, where it represents a voiceless pharyngeal fricative sound, similar to the "H" in the English word "aha" but produced deeper in the throat. It is also employed in some African orthographies, like those for the Hausa language, to denote a distinct consonantal sound. The cedilla diacritic signals that the letter should be pronounced with a constriction in the pharynx, rather than as a simple aspirated H.
