Wikipedia definition
4. Ha (kana)​は, in hiragana, or ハ in katakana, is one of the Japanese kana, each of which represent one mora. Both represent [ha ha]. They are also used as a grammatical particle (including in the greeting konnichi wa) and serve as the topic marker of the sentence. は originates from 波 and ハ from 八. In the Sakhalin dialect of the Ainu language, the katakana ハ can be written as small ㇵ to represent a final h sound after an a sound (アㇵ ah).
