He (IPA: /hɛ/</span>) is the fifth letter of the Phoenician and Hebrew alphabets. The Phoenician letter gave rise to the Greek Epsilon, the Latin E and the Cyrillic Ye. He, like all Phoenician letters, represented a consonant, but the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic equivalents have all come to represent vowel sounds.

In modern Hebrew it makes a sound similar to the English letter H.
