I saw this on the dash board of a dolmus (it was in capitals).

Can anyone help with any kind of explanation.

H, Its a word used at the beginning of prayers a religious phrase, also can be heard spoken to keep bad things away? pronounced as one word, hope this helps.

Freddy Mercury uses the words "Bismillah" in Bohemian Rhapsody, for years I thought he was saying "Mitch Miller" So pass the shovel "H"
