Latin Small Letter H with Breve Below · U+1E2B

ḫ is the lowercase h with a breve, the small curved mark, placed below the letter rather than above it. It belongs to scholarly transliteration of Semitic languages, where it stands for a consonant distinct from plain h. It is encoded at U+1E2B in the Latin Extended Additional block as a single precomposed character, with Ḫ (U+1E2A) as its capital. Click the tile to copy ḫ, then paste it anywhere with Ctrl+V (Windows), Cmd+V (Mac) or a long-press → Paste on a phone.
