Ha or He (Shha in Unicode) (Һ һ; italics: Һ һ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is derived from the Latin letter H (Hhh), but the capital forms are more similar to a rotated Cyrillic letter Che (Ч ч) or a stroke-less Tshe (Ћ ћ) because the Cyrillic letter En (Нн) 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. (Х х)

Shha often represents the voiceless glottal fricative , like the pronunciation of in "hat"; and is used in the alphabets of the following languages:
