Ha orHe (Shha in Unicode) (Һ һ; italics:Һ һ) is a letter of theCyrillic script.[1] Its form is derived from theLatin letter H (H h h), but the capital forms are more similar to a rotatedCyrillic letter Che (Ч ч) or a stroke-lessTshe (Ћ ћ) because theCyrillic letter En (Н н) already has the same form as the Latin letter H.
Most of the languages using the letter call itha - the nameshha was created when the letter was encoded in Unicode, as the nameha was already taken byKha. (Х х)
Shha often represents thevoiceless glottal fricative/h/, like the pronunciation of⟨h⟩ in "hat"; and is used in the alphabets of the following languages:
