U+AB55 "ꭕ" Latin Small Letter Chi with Low Left Serif Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+AB55 "ꭕ" Latin Small Letter Chi with Low Left Serif is a specialized typographic variant of the lowercase Greek letter chi, designed with a distinctive serif extending from the lower left stroke, which is primarily used in phonetic or linguistic transcriptions, particularly for representing certain sounds in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet or other scholarly notations where precise character differentiation is required. It is encoded in the Latin Extended-E block, serving as a subtle yet crucial tool for linguists and philologists to accurately transcribe specific phonetic features that standard chi characters cannot convey.
