Noooooo, you can't represent _Haa_/_hhet_ using a _`ay(i)n_-looking
symbol!!! That's just *wrong*! :-P
I use |hh| myself, usually.
|x| could work, if it's not already taken for /x/.
If you're not adverse to using numbers, Arabic-speakers commonly use
|7| to transliterate it.
Other possible symbols:
|#| (looks like barred-H)
|q| it's back-of-the-mouth-y
|j| like Spanish /x/~/X/, just a little more back.
