How do I italicize a crossed H?
"Crossed h" (ħ) is a letter used in phonetics, as well as in the Maltese language, and some Semitic transcriptions. I would like to be able to display it, both upright and in italics.
tipa provides this character as textcrh. However, unlike some other TIPA symbols, it can't seem to be italicized.
Bonus points if there's a method that works even if the font changes (by overlaying a bar onto the normal h glyph, for example)!
MWE:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{tipa}
begin{document}
LARGE
ang{}atextcrh{}a
{
itshape
ang{}atextcrh{}a
}
The Hebrew word for ``spirit'' is emph{ruatextcrh}.
end{document}

TIPA specifically doesn't include an italic font since there is no practical use for it in linguistics (that may be a matter of opinion for some.) Is a LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX solution an option?

@moewe Oh, perfect! That would make a good answer

@marmot That does look correct, but including it in the middle of a word leads to ugly results (due to switching in and out of math mode).

With either LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX you can just type the letters directly into your source, and get italics the normal way:
documentclass{article}
usepackage{fontspec}
usepackage{libertine}
begin{document}
LARGE
aŋaħa
{
itshape
aŋaħa
}
The Hebrew word for ``spirit'' is emph{ruaħ}.
end{document}
