Mathematical Sans-Serif Bold Small H 𝗵
Visual Description: The character appears as a bold, sans-serif lowercase H rendered in a mathematical style. Its strokes are clean and geometric, with uniform weight and compact height. In text and math editors, it stands out as a labeled symbol, often used for variables or indicators in equations and diagrams.
Meaning & Usage: In math, bold sans-serif h marks a highlighted variable or a specific parameter. It can denote height, a small increment, or a component of a vector. In formulas, it helps readers distinguish emphasized quantities from ordinary letters, and in calculators it may label a focused input.
Historical Background: Notation in bold, sans-serif styles grew as math typography evolved. New fonts and Unicode blocks allowed writers to contrast vectors, functions, and constants with precision. The mathematical alphanumeric symbols set provides dedicated bold forms, enabling consistent display across textbooks, software, and digital math tools.
Practical Use: In digital interfaces, the glyph can label a parameter and cue quick actions. Users see bold h in formulas, sliders, or comparison panels, making it easier to adjust, compute, or contrast values. In handwriting or typesetting, it helps separate a variable from surrounding text.

How to type / insert
Fast copy: click the Copy button near the top of this page.
By codepoint: in many editors and IDEs, you can insert via the Unicode code U+1D5F5 or a built‑in character picker.
HTML: use the numeric entity 헵 (hex) or 헵 (decimal) when an HTML entity is needed.
Compatibility & troubleshooting
Font support: if the symbol does not render, the current font likely lacks this codepoint. Choose a font with broad Unicode coverage or allow a fallback font.
Web pages: ensure your CSS font stack includes a general fallback; avoid relying on images for common symbols to preserve accessibility and copyability.
