h
1. A simple markup language intended for quick conversion of existing text to hypertext.
2. A method of marking common words to call attention to the fact that they are being used in a nonstandard, ironic, or humorous way. Originated in the fannish catchphrase "Bheer is the One True Ghod!" from decades ago. H-infix marking of "Ghod" and other words spread into the 1960s counterculture via underground comix, and into early hackerdom either from the counterculture or from SF fandom (the three overlapped heavily at the time). More recently, the h infix has become an expected feature of benchmark names (Dhrystone, Rhealstone, etc.); this follows on from the original Whetstone (the name of a laboratory) but may have been influenced by the fannish/counterculture h infix.

[from SF fandom] A method of `marking' common words, i.e., calling attention to the fact that they are being used in a nonstandard, ironic, or humorous way. Originated in the fannish catchphrase "Bheer is the One True Ghod!" from decades ago. H-infix marking of `Ghod' and other words spread into the 1960s counterculture via underground comix, and into early hackerdom either from the counterculture or from SF fandom (the three overlapped heavily at the time). More recently, the h infix has become an expected feature of benchmark names (Dhrystone, Rhealstone, etc.); this is probably patterning on the original Whetstone (the name of a laboratory) but influenced by the fannish/counterculture h infix.

H Definition from Language, Idioms & Slang Dictionaries & Glossaries

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)
H

The seventh degree in the diatonic scale, being used by the Germans for B natural. See B.
  

the eighth letter of the English alphabet, is classed among the consonants, and is formed with the mouth organs in the same position as that of the succeeding vowel. It is used with certain consonants to form digraphs representing sounds which are not found in the alphabet, as sh, th, /, as in shall, thing, /ine (for zh see /274); also, to modify the sounds of some other letters, as when placed after c and p, with the former of which it represents a compound sound like that of tsh, as in charm (written also tch as in catch), with the latter, the sound of f, as in phase, phantom. In some words, mostly derived or introduced from foreign languages, h following c and g indicates that those consonants have the hard sound before e, i, and y, as in chemistry, chiromancy, chyle, Ghent, Ghibelline, etc.; in some others, ch has the sound of sh, as in chicane.

note: the name (aitch) is from the french ache; its form is from the latin, and this from the greek h, which was used as the sign of the spiritus asper (rough breathing) before it came to represent the long vowel, gr. ?. the greek h is from phœnician, the ultimate origin probably being egyptian. etymologically h is most closely related to c; as in e. horn, l. cornu, gr. ke`ras; e. hele, v. t., conceal; e. hide, l. cutis, gr. ky`tos; e. hundred, l. centum, gr.

Planck's constant
(h) A proportionality constant that relates the energy carried by a photon to its frequency . Planck's constant has a value of 6.6262 × 10-34 J s.

enthalpy
(H) Compare with heat .Enthalpy (H) is defined so that changes in enthalpy ( H) are equal to the heat absorbed or released by a process running at constant pressure. While changes in enthalpy can be measured using calorimetry, absolute values of enthalpy usually cannot be determined. Enthalpy is formally defined as H = U + PV, where U is the internal energy, P is the pressure, and V is the volume.

hydrogen (H; protium)
(H) Element 1, atomic weight 1.00797. The most abundant element in the universe. Hydrogen occurs as H2 at ambient temperature and pressure, a colorless, odorless, and extremely flammable gas. Discovered in 1766 by Cavendish.

H
H is the eighth letter in the Latin alphabet. Its name in English is spelled aitch, pronounced IPA  in most dialects, though in Irish and Indian English it is generally haitch . (See the discussion below on the two pronunciations.)

In the International Phonetic Alphabet, this symbol is used to represent two sounds. Its lowercase form, , represents the voiceless glottal fricative or 'aspirate', and its small capital form, , represents the voiceless epiglottal fricative.

Backspace
Backspace is the keyboard key that originally pushed the typewriter carriage one position backwards, and in modern computer displays moves the cursor one position backwards, deletes the preceding character, and shifts back the text after it by one position.

In typewriters, a typist would, for example, type a lowercase letter A with acute accent (á) by typing a lowercase letter A, backspace and then the acute accent key (also known as overstrike). This is the basis for such spacing modifiers in computer character sets such as the ASCII caret (^, for the circumflex accent). Backspace composition no longer works with digital displays or typesetting systems. It has to some degree been replaced with the combining diacritical marks mechanism of Unicode, though such characters do not work well with many fonts, and precomposed characters continue to be used. Some software like TeX or Microsoft Windows use the opposite method for diacritical marks, namely positioning the accent first, and then the base letter on its position.

Header file
In computer programming, particularly in the C and C++ programming languages, a header file or include file is a file, usually in the form of source code, that is automatically included in another source file by the compiler. Typically, header files are included via compiler directives at the beginning (or head) of the other source file.

Ĥ

In the case of the minuscule, some fonts place the circumflex over the riser of the base letter h, others over the shoulder, and others centred above the entire letter.

Ĥ is falling out of use among some Esperanto speakers, being generally replaced by the letter k. However, several words are still commonly used with ĥ, particularly ones in which there is another word that uses "k" in that context. For example, eĥo ("echo") or ĥoro ("chorus") are distinguished from eko ("beginning") and koro ("heart"). Other examples include proper nouns such as Ĉeĥio "Czech Republic" and Liĥtenŝtejno "Liechtenstein".
