U+10527 "𐔧" Elbasan Letter Khe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐔧
U+10527 "𐔧" Elbasan Letter Khe is a part of the Elbasan script, an alphabetic writing system created in the 18th century for the Albanian language, specifically used to represent a voiceless velar fricative sound, similar to the 'ch' in the Scottish word "loch." This letter is one of the 40 characters in the Elbasan alphabet, which was developed by the Albanian bishop and scholar Gregory of Durrës to help standardize and promote written Albanian in religious and educational contexts. The Elbasan script, though not widely adopted today, holds historical significance as an early attempt to create a distinct Albanian orthography, and this particular letter contributes to preserving that linguistic heritage within the Unicode Standard.
