The last three are unnecessary. The h as a sound modifier is fine. Seems you saw no need for a 'ch' symbol.

Getting rid of the redundant letters would be sensible except the cost would outweigh the benefit. It's only three, it's not going to save much memory in character sets. It might make learning spelling a tiny bit easier.

Before anyone mentions it, reforming the spelling based on pronunciation would go nowhere fast. There are a million varying accents for English with different pronunciations.
