U+062E "خ" Arabic Letter Khah is a consonant in the Arabic alphabet representing the voiceless uvular fricative sound /x/, similar to the "ch" in the Scottish "loch" or the German "Bach". It is the seventh letter of the alphabet, positioned after the letter ح (Ha) and before د (Dal), and is used in Arabic script for languages such as Arabic, Persian, Urdu, and Pashto. Written with a distinctive dot placed above the letter ح, it appears in final, medial, and initial forms depending on its position in a word, and it is a key component of the abjad writing system where letters primarily represent consonants.
