ℹ️ About

The Cyrillic Capital Letter Ksi (Ѯ) is a historical character derived from the Greek letter Xi (Ξ). It was primarily used in the early Cyrillic alphabet to represent the sound /ks/, predominantly in words borrowed from Greek or in ecclesiastical contexts. While Peter the Great’s civil script reform in 1708 removed it from standard Russian use, it remains a vital codepoint for historians and linguists studying Old Church Slavonic.

⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with ѯ (U+046F, lowercase) or the Greek Ξ.
