H with stroke
Ħ is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from H with the addition of a bar. It is used in Maltese and in Tunisian Arabic transliteration for a voiceless pharyngeal fricative consonant. Lowercase is used in the International Phonetic Alphabet for the same sound.
In unicode, the special character ℏ, represents the reduced Planck constant of quantum mechanics. In this context, it is pronounced "h-bar".
The lowercase resembles the Cyrillic letter Tshe, or the astronomical symbol of Saturn.
A white uppercase Ħ on a red square is the logo of Heritage Malta.
