Unicode Version 17.0

𝞳

U+1D7B3 "𝞳" Mathematical Sans-Serif Bold Italic Small Kappa is a typographic variant of the Greek letter kappa, designed for use in mathematical and scientific notation when a distinct, emphasized style is needed. It belongs to the "Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols" block, which provides specialized letter forms to avoid ambiguity in complex equations or texts. This specific character combines a sans-serif typeface (lacking decorative strokes), a bold weight for added emphasis, and an italic slant typical of variables or parameters in formulas. It represents the lowercase kappa sound and is often used in fields such as physics, engineering, and computer science to denote constants, coefficients, or specific thematic quantities where a clear visual separation from standard Greek or Latin letters is required.
