What is this character at the foot of 'nanna' of the words in 'bold' called and how it is to be pronounced ?

ਦਿਲਹੁ ਮੁਹਬਤਿ ਜਿੰਨ੍ ਸੇਈ ਸਚਿਆ ॥


दिलहु मुहबति जिंन्ह सेई सचिआ ॥


Ḏilahu muhabaṯ jinĥ se▫ī sacẖi▫ā.


They alone are true, whose love for God is deep and heart-felt.




ਜਿਨ੍ ਮਨਿ ਹੋਰੁ ਮੁਖਿ ਹੋਰੁ ਸਿ ਕਾਂਢੇ ਕਚਿਆ ॥੧॥


जिन्ह मनि होरु मुखि होरु सि कांढे कचिआ ॥१॥


Jinĥ man hor mukẖ hor sė kāʼndẖe kacẖi▫ā. ||1||

This is called 'virama' or 'halanta' and is common in Hindi and Sanskrit. It is used to suppress the inherent vowel that otherwise occurs with every consonant letter.
