'''Ha''' or '''He''' ('''Shha''' in Unicode) (Һ һ; italics: <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">''Һ һ''</span>) is a letter of the [Cyrillic script](/source/Cyrillic_script).<ref name=Unicode/> Its form is derived from the [Latin letter H](/source/H) (H&nbsp;h&nbsp;<span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">''h''</span>), but the capital forms are more similar to a rotated [Cyrillic letter Che](/source/Che_(Cyrillic)) (Ч ч) or a stroke-less [Tshe](/source/Tshe) (Ћ ћ) because the [Cyrillic letter En](/source/En_(Cyrillic)) (Н&nbsp;н) 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](/source/Kha_(Cyrillic)). (Х х)

Shha often represents the [voiceless glottal fricative](/source/voiceless_glottal_fricative) {{IPA|/h/}}, like the pronunciation of {{angbr|h}} in "'''h'''at"; and is used in the alphabets of the following languages:
