Gol he
Gol he, also called choṭī he, is one of the two variants of the Arabic letter he/hāʾ (ه) that are in use in the Urdu alphabet, the other variant being the "do-cas͟hmī he" (), also called "hā-ye-mak͟hlūt". The letter is named for its shape in the isolated form, "gol" meaning "round" in Hindustani, to distinguish it from the "do-cas͟hmī he", which is really a calligraphic variant of the "two-eyed" regular he in the medial position (). Its various non-isolated forms originated in the Nastaʿlīq script or calligraphic hand, though various zigzag (medial) and hook (final) forms of hāʾ have existed before the script was developed.
