What Wikipedia says

A voiceless epiglottal fricative, or voiceless pharyngeal trill, is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents this sound is ⟨ʜ⟩, a small capital ⟨h⟩; it is homoglyphic with the lowercase Cyrillic letter En (н).
