From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gol he, also called choṭī he, is one of the two variants of the Arabic letter he/hāʾ (ه) that are in use in the Urdu alphabet, the other variant being the do-cas͟hmī he (ھ), also called hā-'e-mak͟hlūt.^[1] The letter is named for its shape in the isolated form, gol meaning "round" in Hindustani, to distinguish it from the do-cas͟hmī he, which is really a calligraphic variant of the "two-eyed" regular he in the medial position (ﻬ‎). Its various non-isolated forms originated in the Nastaʿlīq script or calligraphic hand,^[2]^[3] though various zigzag (medial) and hook (final) forms of hāʾ have existed before the script was developed.^[4]

Use in Urdu

The letter ہ‎ (encoded at U+06C1) replaces the regular he ه‎ (encoded at U+0647) in Urdu (as well as the Punjabi Shahmukhi alphabet) for the voiced glottal fricative [ɦ] but is usually pronounced [ɑː] in the word-final position (exception include certain two-letter words such as وہ /ʋoː/ or کہ /keː/) while the do-cas͟hmī he ھ‎ is used in digraphs for aspiration and breathy voice and hence never used word-initially.

Position in word:	Isolated	Final	Medial	Initial
Naskh glyph form: (Help)	ہ‎	ـہ‎	ـہـ‎	ہـ‎
Nastaʿlīq glyph form:	ہ	ــــہ	ــــہــــ	ہــــ

For comparison, the do-cas͟hmī he (not used word-initially) and the regular Arabic letter:

Position in word:	Isolated	Final	Medial	Initial
Naskh glyph form: (Help)	ھ‎	ـھ‎	ـھـ‎	ھـ‎
Nastaʿlīq glyph form:	ھ	ــــھ	ــــھــــ	ھــــ

Position in word:	Isolated	Final	Medial	Initial
Naskh glyph form: (Help)	ه‎	ـه‎	ـهـ‎	هـ‎
Nastaʿlīq glyph form:	ه	ــــه	ــــهــــ	هــــ
