In Arabic, it is considered a variant form of kāf, notably al-kāf al-mashkūlah or al-kāf al-mashqūqah.[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.
