Shha or He (Һ һ; italics: Һ һ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.[1] Its form is derived from the Latin letter H (H h H h), but the capital forms are more similar to a rotated Cyrillic letter Che (Ч) or a stroke-less Tshe (Ћ) because the Cyrillic letter En (Н н) already has the same form as the Latin letter H.
Most of the languages using the letter call it ha - the name shha was created when the letter was encoded in Unicode.
Shha represents the voiceless glottal fricative /h/, like the pronunciation of ⟨h⟩ in "hat"; and is used in the alphabets of the following languages:
| Language | Notes | Phoneme |
|---|---|---|
| Azerbaijani | 1939–1991, now uses a Latin alphabet (Still used by Dagestan) | /h/,/ħ/ |
| Bashkir | /h/ | |
| Buryat | /h/ | |
| Dolgan | /h/ | |
| Kalmyk | /ɣ/ | |
| Kazakh | rarely used,[2] being replaced by Latin H | /h/ |
| Kildin Sami | /◌ʰ/ | |
| Kurdish | /h/ | |
