Pronunciation

Letter
  1. 11th letter of the Zhuyin alphabet
  2. 15th letter of the extended Zhuyin alphabet

Phoneme
  1. (Mandarin) Sound IPA(key): /x/
    (Pinyin: h), which is present in Standard Chinese and some Mandarin dialects, including Lower Yangtze Mandarin and Sichuanese.
  2. (Mandarin) Sound IPA(key): /h/ (Pinyin: h), which is only present in characters that express laughter, such as 哈 and 呵.
  3. (non-Mandarin) Sound IPA(key): /h/ (Pinyin: h), which is commonly present in non-Mandarin dialects.

Etymology 2

Simplified from 呵, typing only ㄏ instead of the full character pronunciation on Zhuyin keyboards.

Definitions

(This character is an Internet slang variant form of 呵).

Etymology 3

Simplified from 哈, typing only ㄏ instead of the full character pronunciation on Zhuyin keyboards.

Definitions
For pronunciation and definitions of ㄏ – see 哈 (“many; plenteous; opening; moving; etc.”).
(This character is an Internet slang variant form of 哈).

Etymology 4

Confused with 厂, simplified version of 廠／厂 (chǎng) as it is not common to enter simplified characters with a Zhuyin keyboard or transliterate with Zhuyin, so the users are not familiar with it. The confusion was so common, it became a standard slang version of the character.

Definitions
For pronunciation and definitions of ㄏ – see 廠 (“shack; shed; etc.”).
