Modifier Letter Small H Symbol

There is no legacy Windows Alt code for Modifier Letter Small H because it is not in either the OEM code page 437 or Windows-1252 tables. The Unicode codepoint is U+02B0, which you can use as ʰ in HTML, \02B0 in CSS, or type with Alt+688 on Windows (BMP only). If your keyboard has no numeric keypad, use the Character Viewer, the HTML entity, or copy the character directly. Modifier Letter Small H is outside both legacy code pages, which is why U+02B0 is the identifier that works across Word, HTML, CSS, Python and JavaScript. Modifier Letter Small H has no named HTML entity, so use the numeric escape ʰ or the hex escape ʰ.
