Xi (uppercase Ξ, lowercase ξ) is the 14th letter of the Greek alphabet. It is pronounced [ksi] in Modern Greek, and generally pronounced /ˈsaɪ/ (UK) or /ˈzaɪ/ (US) in English. In the system of Greek numerals, it has a value of 60. The Xi is not to be confused with the letter Chi, which takes the form of the Latin letter X. In ancient times, the Western Greek alphabet used it to represent /kʰ/, while it was used to represent /ks/ in other alphabets. As the alphabet was standardized, Xi was decided to be used for /ks/ and Chi for /kʰ/. While having no Latin derivative, the Xi was adopted into the early Cyrillic alphabet, as the letter ksi (Ѯ, ѯ).

  • Ikariam uses the term as the name of the "world" that has "s14" in its URL, no matter which language version is concerned.
