Khē

Not to be confused with Ḫāʾ.

Khē, or Keheh, is a letter of the Arabic script, used to write /kʰ/ in Sindhi. It is equivalent to ख in Sindhi's Devanagari orthography.

Position in word: Isolated Final Medial Initial
Glyph form:
(Help) 		ک‎ ـک‎ ـکـ‎ کـ‎

In Arabic, it is considered a variant form of kāf, notably al-kāf al-mashkūlah or al-kāf al-mashqūqah, and is used in rasm writing of the Arabic language.[1] It is the predominant form of kāf in the Perso-Arabic script. But in Sindhi, khē and kāf are differentiated: khē (ک‎) is used consistently for /kʰ/, and kāf (ڪ‎) for /k/. This is similar to the history of I and J, and of U and V, in the Latin alphabet.
