ℹ️ About

The Syriac Letter Kaph (ܟ) is the eleventh letter of the Syriac abjad, traditionally representing the voiceless velar plosive /k/. In the Syriac script, which is a right-to-left (RTL) writing system, Kaph can change its appearance based on its position in a word (initial, medial, or final). This specific codepoint (U+071F) provides the base character for the script, belonging to the Arabic Letter (AL) bidirectional class.

⚠️ Note: Do not confuse with כ (U+05DB Hebrew Letter Kaph), which shares a common Phoenician ancestor but is part of a different script block.
