โ and โ take one UTF-16 unit, because they are in the Letterlike Symbols block, below U+10000. The other characters in this table are in the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, above U+FFFF, and take two.

Where โ comes from
โ is U+210B SCRIPT CAPITAL H. It has been in Unicode since version 1.1, in the Letterlike Symbols block. Unicode gives it the alias โHamiltonian operatorโ.
The Mathematical Script alphabet was added in Unicode 3.1. Its position for capital H, U+1D4A3, is reserved and cross-referenced to โ instead of holding a character of its own, so the Unicode data sends that position to โ.
Because โ sits in a different Unicode block from ๐ข and ๐ฅ (Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols), a font can design it separately, and how closely they match depends on the font. โ takes one UTF-16 unit where ๐ข takes two. The Mathematical Bold Script alphabet has no gap at this letter: ๐ is U+1D4D7, in sequence with ๐ and ๐.
Why italic h is โ, the Planck constant
โ is U+210E PLANCK CONSTANT. It has been in Unicode since version 1.1, in the Letterlike Symbols block. Unicode gives it the alias โheight, specific enthalpy, ...โ. Its note reads โsimply a mathematical italic h; this character's name results from legacy usageโ.
The Mathematical Italic alphabet was added in Unicode 3.1. Its position for small h, U+1D455, is reserved and cross-referenced to โ instead of holding a character of its own, so the Unicode data sends that position to โ.
Because โ sits in a different Unicode block from ๐ and ๐ (Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols), a font can design it separately, and how closely they match depends on the font. โ takes one UTF-16 unit where ๐ takes two. The Mathematical Bold Italic alphabet has no gap at this letter: ๐ is U+1D489, in sequence with ๐ and ๐.
Characters that resemble a cursive H or h but are not
Why a look-alike is not a harmless swapโ is black-letter (the gothic style, not cursive) and sits in the Letterlike Symbols block, where the borrowed script capitals also are.
