heh
Mild amusement sound
Heh is a written representation of a short, breathy laugh—less emphatic than "ha" and often carrying a note of mild amusement, wry acknowledgment, or smug satisfaction.
In text and online communication, it suggests a knowing chuckle rather than genuine laughter: Heh, I knew that would happen.
It can also express awkward or nervous amusement.
