cyrillic small letter ksi

Cyrillic Small Letter Ksi

112/256

ѯ, called ksi, is an old Cyrillic letter read as the consonant cluster “ks.” Church Slavonic used it in Greek-derived words and names, and modernized editions may write кс instead. With a titlo, it represents the numeral 60.

Text symbol

What ѯ means

It represents the consonant cluster ks.

In Church Slavonic, ksi gave Greek-derived words and names a single letter for ks. When an edition modernizes the spelling, it may write the same cluster as кс.

Why does ѯ look different in my font?

Its shape depends on the typeface.

ѯ is a text character, so your font draws it. Church Slavonic fonts can show historical letterforms differently from general Cyrillic fonts; if it appears as a missing-glyph box, the font lacks support.
