Since your next question is about a browser, I thought I should mention
that one way to enter characters is via NCRs (numeric character
references). In this case, you could use ḥ

If you don't have a font that contains 1E25, then how do you know that
Netscape 4.5 does not support this character?
Try adding a META tag at the beginning of the HEAD of your document:
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Then ḥ should work in Netscape 4.5 if you have such a font and you
set the font prefs appropriately (Edit | Preferences | Appearance |
Fonts | Unicode).

I don't know where you can find such fonts. Perhaps somebody else will
reply.
