Shha
Ha or He 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.
Most of the languages using the letter call it ha - the name shha was created when the letter was encoded in Unicode, as the name ha was already taken by Kha.
