For this project, I chose the greek letter Xi.
In ancient and in modern greek, this letter represents the sound [ks]. It is the 14th letter of the greek alphabet, and has a numerical value of 60. Csi/Xi originates from the Phoenician language sāmek, which translates to fish. The uppercase letter (Ξ) is used to represent various particles in physics as well as mathematics, while the lowercase letter (ξ) is used as a symbol for mass and astronomical functions.
