Both are acceptable English spellings of the Hebrew word, which is a conjugation of "chesed"-- Hebrew for kindness. I always found "ch" a more appropriate spelling as the sound is not that of an h-- it is more guttural, beginning in the back of the throat, rather than forward in the mouth.
I guess technically both look like typos as it's a transliteration.
