Did you know?
The letter K is the eleventh letter of the Latin alphabet and carries ancient roots stretching back through Greek koppa and earlier Semitic scripts. In alphabetic traditions worldwide, K has historically marked sounds ranging from hard consonants to softer phonetic variants, adapting across languages and scripts. As a monogram initial, the K has long served as a personal mark—stamped on belongings, embroidered into linens, and stitched into family heirlooms to denote ownership, heritage, or affection.
