Unicode Version 17.0
𝛫
U+1D6EB "𝛫" Mathematical Italic Capital Kappa is a glyph from the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block, designed to represent the Greek letter kappa in an italic style for use in mathematical and scientific notation. It is part of a comprehensive set of italicized Greek capitals, allowing for clear differentiation between text and variable usage in equations, such as in fields like number theory or physics where kappa might denote a constant or a function. This character is distinct from the regular Greek capital kappa (Κ) to avoid confusion with ordinary text, ensuring precise semantic meaning in formal documents.
