"Kappa Kappa (uppercase Κ, lowercase κ or cursive ϰ; , ""káppa"") is the 10th letter of the Greek alphabet, used to represent the sound in Ancient and Modern Greek. In the system of Greek numerals, has a value of 20. It was derived from the Phoenician letter kaph . Letters that arose from kappa include the Roman K and Cyrillic К. Greek proper names and placenames containing kappa are often written in English with ""c"" due to the Romans' transliterations into the Latin alphabet: Constantinople, Corinth, Crete.

Letters that arose from mu include the Roman M and the Cyrillic М. In Ancient Greek, the name of the letter was written and pronounced [mŷː]. In Modern Greek, the letter is spelled and pronounced .

"Koppa (letter) Koppa or qoppa (; as a modern numeral sign: ) is a letter that was used in early forms of the Greek alphabet, derived from Phoenician qoph . It was originally used to denote the /k/ sound, but dropped out of use as an alphabetic character in favor of Kappa (Κ). It has remained in use as a numeral symbol (90) in the system of Greek numerals, although with a modified shape.

Its shape was similar to modern M, or ϡ, or to a modern Greek Sigma (Σ) turned sideways, and it was used as an alternative to Sigma to denote the sound . Unlike Sigma, whose position in the alphabet is between Rho and Tau, San appeared between Pi and Qoppa in alphabetic order. In addition to denoting this separate archaic character, the name ""San"" was also used as an alternative name to denote the standard letter Sigma. The existence of the two competing letters Sigma and San is"
