U+1EE37 "𞸷" Arabic Mathematical Initial Khah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𞸷
U+1EE37 "𞸷" Arabic Mathematical Initial Khah is a specific glyph from the Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Symbols block, designed for use in scientific and mathematical notation where Arabic script is employed. This character represents an initial form of the Arabic letter Khah, which corresponds to the sound /x/ (like the "ch" in "loch"), and is typically used in contexts such as denoting variables, functions, or other symbolic entities in mathematical expressions. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the representation of complex formulas and academic texts that require a clear distinction between regular Arabic letters and their stylized mathematical variants.
