U+105B9 "𐖹" Vithkuqi Small Letter Xe is a character in the Vithkuqi alphabet, a historical script used to write the Vithkuqi language, which was spoken in parts of the Balkans, primarily in what is now Albania and Greece, during the 18th and 19th centuries. This small letter represents the sound equivalent to the Latin letter "X" or the Greek letter "Xi", specifically denoting the /ks/ phoneme, and it was part of an alphabet designed by scholars to preserve and standardize the language before it fell out of common use. The Vithkuqi script was added to the Unicode Standard in 2021 as part of version 14.0, allowing for digital representation of this rare and culturally significant writing system.
