Shha

Ha or He (Shha in Unicode) (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), but the capital forms are more similar to a rotated Cyrillic letter Che (Ч ч) or a stroke-less Tshe (Ћ ћ) because the Cyrillic letter En (Н н) already has the same form as the Latin letter H.
