The Greek ‹Χ› (chi) used here is not to be confused with the Latin ‹X› (iks).
The standard form of Chi is {{c||Χ}}, used in both Magrè and Sanzeno context. The variant with long bars occurs only sporadically, and almost exclusively in Sanzeno context. Note that in doubtful or para-script contexts, {{c||Χ3}}/{{c||Χ4}} is indistinguishable from {{c||A22}}/{{c||A23}}. Inverted forms are rare.
