Hae (Asomtavruli: Ⴠ, Nuskhuri: ⴠ, Mkhedruli: ჰ, Mtavruli: Ჰ) is the 37th letter of the three Georgian scripts.[1]

In the system of Georgian numerals it has a value of 9000.[2] Hae commonly represents the voiceless glottal fricative /h/, like the pronunciation of ⟨h⟩[3] in "head". It is typically romanized with the letter H.[4]
