The final syllable of こんにちは is written with the character は (ha) but is pronounced as 'wa' because it functions as a topic marker.

The greeting こんにちは is actually a truncated version of a much longer, formal sentence that once concluded with 'is it?' or 'how is it?'
While こんにちは is a standard greeting, it is rarely used when addressing members of one's own family inside the home.
In professional settings, こんにちは is often accompanied by a bow, and the depth of the bow conveys the level of respect being shown.
