Arabic Mathematical Initial Kaf

𞸪 is the initial-style form of kaf used as a symbol in Arabic-script mathematics. The equation determines its role. It keeps its mathematical shape rather than joining to neighboring letters as ordinary Arabic text does.

Text symbol

What 𞸪 means

It is a mathematical letterform, not a word-position instruction.

Arabic math uses letter styles to distinguish symbols. The family derives from Arabic-script forms found in manuscripts and print. Symbolic notation appears in works by Ibn al-Banna and al-Qalasadi by the 15th century, though that does not date this exact kaf. It spans Arabic and Persian writing; Moroccan handbooks used it before adopting French mathematical notation, and Arabic scientific notation standards included the 1987 Amman convention.

Arabic Letter Kaf

ك is the ordinary Arabic letter kaf. It shares this character’s letter identity, but it is used in words rather than as this dedicated mathematical style.

Questions people ask

Why does 𞸪 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the Arabic Mathematical Alphabetic Symbols block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
