Just to add something, 'h' is the upper case version of the apostrophe 
(both called {.y'y.}). This really only ever occurs in selma'o names, 
though it is very common in these.

It is called a "half letter" sometimes for various reasons. Matt explained 
how it only appears between vowels, and is unique in this respect (commas, 
if I remember correctly, can be used next to syllabic consonants - but 
that's unimportant). The apostrophe also has no effect on morphology: CVV 
and CV'V syllables behave identically (other than having different 
meanings). Finally, it is counted almost literally as half a letter in the 
lujvo scoring algorithm. "Something that acts as half a letter", I suppose 
someone thought, "should have 'half' a glyph, pe'a".
