U+05DB "כ" Hebrew Letter Kaf is the nineteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet and represents the sound /k/, though it can also produce a fricative /χ/ (like the "ch" in "Bach") when it lacks a dagesh, a dot placed inside the letter. It is a consonant that appears in two forms: the standard medial shape used in the beginning and middle of words, and a final form ( ך, Unicode U+05DA) that is employed when the letter ends a word. In the Hebrew numeric system of gematria, the letter Kaf carries the numerical value of twenty, reflecting its linguistic and cultural significance as a foundational element of written and spoken Hebrew.
