Unicode Version 17.0
ခ
U+1001 "ခ" Myanmar Letter Kha is a character in the Myanmar script, used primarily to write the Burmese language and several other languages spoken in Myanmar. It represents the aspirated voiceless velar stop consonant sound, similar to the "kh" in the English word "khan," and is the second letter of the modern Myanmar alphabet, classified as a consonant in the velar series. In spoken Burmese, its pronunciation is influenced by tone, which is not indicated by the letter itself but by surrounding diacritics or context, and it is a fundamental building block for writing common words such as ခေါင်း (head) or ချစ် (love).
