The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Heth, sometimes written Chet or Ḥet, is the eighth letter of the Semitic abjads, including Arabic ḥāʾ ح, Aramaic ḥēṯ 𐡇, Hebrew ḥēt ח, Phoenician ḥēt 𐤇, and Syriac ḥēṯ ܚ.
Heth originally represented a voiceless fricative, either pharyngeal /ħ/, or velar /x/. In Arabic, two corresponding letters were created for both phonemic sounds: unmodified ḥāʾ ح represents /ħ/, while ḫāʾ خ represents /x/.
The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek eta Η, Etruscan , Latin H, and Cyrillic И. While H is a consonant in the Latin alphabet, the Greek and Cyrillic equivalents represent vowel sounds, though the letter was originally a consonant in Greek and this usage later evolved into the rough breathing character. The Phoenician letter also gave rise to the archaic Greek letter heta, as well as a variant of Cyrillic letter I, short I. The Arabic letter (ح) is sometimes transliterated as Ch in English.
