Shha
Shha is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Latin letter H, but the capital forms are more similar to a rotated Cyrillic letter Che or a stroke-less Tshe because the Cyrillic letter En already has the same form as the Latin letter H.
Shha represents the voiceless glottal fricative, like the pronunciation of in "hat"; and is used in the alphabets of the following languages:
