Unicode Version 17.0

Х

U+0425 "Х" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ha is a letter from the Cyrillic script that represents the voiceless velar fricative sound /x/, similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch" or the "j" in Spanish "jalapeño". It is the twenty-third letter in the modern Russian alphabet and corresponds to the Latin letter "K" in terms of visual appearance, though they are unrelated in origin and pronunciation. This character derives from the Greek letter Chi (Χ, χ) and is used in many Slavic and non-Slavic languages that employ the Cyrillic writing system, including Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Serbian.
