Hwe (Cyrillic)

Hwe (Ꚕ ꚕ; italics: Ꚕ ꚕ ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form was derived from the Cyrillic letter Shha (Һ һ Һ һ) by adding a hook to the top of the left leg.

Hwe is used in the old Abkhaz alphabet, where it represents the labialized voiceless pharyngeal fricative. It corresponds to Ҳә. Its appearance is similar to the letter հ (ho) used in the Armenian script, but the difference between հ and ꚕ is that հ represents /h/ and ꚕ represents /ħʷ/.
