High eye point is usually indicated by an eyeglasses sign on body of eyepiece.
I have noticed that there are some high eyepoint eyepieces that do use a 'H' though I'm not sure how common they are.
By the way, do eyepiece tubes vary in diameter much? If I bought an eyepiece that was wider than my microscope's tube, I guess I could wrap something around it to keep it in place.
Super wide diameter eyepiece may not go in at all, though such case is very rare (the standard is 23.2mm, if I remember correctly; but Leitz super wide eyepiece may need a wide tube, for example).
For low power eyepiece at 6x or lower, length may be a problem too (some tubes are not long enough).
Some 'H" in eyepiece names do mean high eye point. Case in point is Nikon HKW10x, which means high eye point compensating wide field 10x. But H may mean different things for different manufacturers. And the same meaning may be represented by different letters, some use C for compensating eyepiece, while some use K, for example.
