Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for h is neighbouring look-alikes ("há", "he", …), not just typos; it is asymbol. Frequency #1,433 among 409 “H” headwords. Gloss: "símbolo de hora:".
We couldn't generate a plausible misspelling set for h, and the word's spelling is regular enough that our generator found nothing worth flagging. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "há", "he", "ho", and more, since the words sound or look close enough that writers reach for the wrong one mid-sentence.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct Portuguese form is h, spelled H.
