H with descender

[1] This letter was in use from the early 1960s, when a Latin alphabet, the Uyghur New Script, was introduced for writing Uyghur to replace the Arabic script, until 1984–86 when the Latin alphabet was phased out and the official script was changed back to Arabic.

The equivalent Arabic letter is ھ, while the Cyrillic equivalent is the shha (Һ һ) to represent a voiceless descender-shaped glotal fricative consonant.

The capital letter is homoglyphic to the Cyrillic letter en with descender (Ң ң) used in various Turkic languages, including Uyghur itself in its own Cyrillic alphabet.

Its lowercase form is homoglyphic with the shha with descender used in the Tati and Juhuri languages.
