Latin chi (majuscule Ꭓ, minuscule ꭓ) is a letter of the extended latin alphabet used in the writing of Comox and Halkomelem, or languages of Italy like central-southern Calabrian and Salentino; and which was used in the Lepsius Standard Alphabet. Its sound and glyph are both derived from the Greek small letter Chi (χ).
