Uppercase H

Where is the mark on H?

Above and below are different

Ḣ and ḣ have a dot above; Ḥ and ḥ have a dot below. A faint dot may be difficult to see in a scan. Check its location before choosing a character for a name or reference.

Three marks above the letter

Ĥ carries a circumflex, ḧ carries two dots, and ȟ carries a caron. Their capitals are Ĥ, Ḧ and Ȟ. Compare the whole mark: a roof, two separate dots and a v are distinct shapes.

H with a stroke

Ħ and ħ have a line through the letter itself. Use the character button to retain that line in plain text. Applying strikethrough to H only changes formatting and will not produce the same character code.

Select a character above and wait for the copy confirmation. Paste into your text with Ctrl + V on Windows, Command + V on Mac, or your phone’s Paste command. For a whole name or sentence, use the online accent keyboard. You can also browse all accent letters from A to Z.

How to type h with an accent on Windows

Using a numeric keypad

Not every marked h has a standard Windows ALT shortcut. For ḥ, copying is the most direct option here. In Word for Windows, you can also use the hexadecimal method described below.

No numeric keypad? Use the copy button or the Word method. If your laptop has an embedded keypad, check its own instructions for enabling it.

Type ḥ with Alt + X in Word

In Word for Windows, 1E25 is the hexadecimal value for ḥ. Alt + X converts that value into the letter, without requiring a numeric keypad.

  • Put your cursor at the insertion point in Word.
  • Type 1E25, without the U+ prefix.
  • Highlight only the code, then press ALT + X.
  • Check that the code has become ḥ.

See Microsoft’s character-code instructions for details about code entry. For other characters, browse the ALT code directory.

On a Mac, phone, or tablet

On a Mac, try holding a letter key in an app that supports the accent menu. If the form you need is missing, copy it here and paste with Command + V. On a phone or tablet, select a character and use your destination app’s Paste command. See Apple’s accent guide for Mac options.

H with an accent: common questions

Answers to help you choose the correct form and keep its marks intact.

Copy ḥ for lowercase or Ḥ for uppercase. Both place the dot below the letter.

Ħ and ħ are H with stroke. They are separate characters from plain H and h.

Yes. The lowercase character is ḧ and its capital is Ḧ. Look for the diaeresis label.
