Is there a phonetic symbol that has the the three properties voiceless, glottal and fricative?

Yes, the phonetic symbol for a voiceless glottal fricative is /h/. This sound is produced by constricting the vocal cords and creating friction in the glottis, resulting in a sharp, hissing sound. It is commonly found in words like "hat" and "happy" in English.
