Ḫāʼ (ﺥ, transliterated as either ḫ (DIN-31635) or ẖ (ISO 233)) is one of the six letters the Arabic alphabet added to the twenty-two inherited from the Phoenician alphabet (the others being ṯāʼ, ḏāl, ḍād, ẓāʼ, ġayn). It represents the voiceless velar fricative (IPA [x]). In name and shape, it is a variant of ḥāʼ (see also there). South Semitic also kept the phoneme separate, and it appears as South Arabian , Ge'ez Ḫarm ኀ.
