Also known as: uppercase chi, big chi, chi capital, capital chi, greek capital x.

The capital Greek letter Chi (Χ) is visually identical to the Latin capital X and therefore sees little independent use as a mathematical symbol. The lowercase χ, by contrast, is standard in statistics for the chi-squared distribution. Where Χ appears, it serves as a label or variable in contexts enumerating Greek capitals.

χ is the twenty-second letter of the Greek alphabet. In statistics it appears in the chi-squared test and distribution, written χ²; in physics it denotes quantities such as electric and magnetic susceptibility; and in topology it denotes the Euler characteristic. It is used as a standalone variable or with superscripts and subscripts.
