U+2CF2 "" Coptic Capital Letter Bohairic Khei is a glyph used in the Coptic script, specifically representing the capital form of the letter "Khei" as employed in the Bohairic dialect of the Coptic language. This character is part of the Coptic block of Unicode, which was added to support the liturgical and scholarly needs of the Coptic Orthodox Church and related linguistic studies. In Bohairic Coptic, the letter corresponds to an aspirated /kʰ/ sound, and it is distinct from the standard Coptic Khei (which typically appears in the Sahidic dialect) due to historical orthographic variations. Alongside its lowercase counterpart (U+2CF3), this character ensures accurate digital representation of Bohairic texts, aiding in the preservation and accessibility of Coptic religious and historical documents.
