A Hebrew letter (ח), also known as 'het' or 'heth'; the eighth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
From Hebrew 'ח' (het/heth), a letter whose name originally meant 'fence' or 'enclosure' in ancient Semitic languages. The term entered English through scholarly and religious texts discussing Hebrew writing.
The letter 'acca' literally looks like a fence (|—|), and that's exactly what its name meant in ancient Hebrew! It's one of the few letters where the shape matches the original meaning of its name.
