The LaTeX code for the Greek uppercase letter Chi (Χ) is \Chi
. However, Greek uppercase Chi looks identical to the Latin letter X, which is why there's rarely a specific command for the uppercase, and you can use the regular Latin X
in most cases. For the lowercase chi (χ), use \chi
.
$ \Chi $
displays X$ \chi $
displays χHere’s how to use them in a LaTeX document:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
The uppercase Greek letter Chi: X or \Chi
The lowercase Greek letter chi: $\chi$
\end{document}
Make sure you are in math mode (using $...$
or $$ ... $$
) when writing Greek letters other than the uppercase Chi that looks like the Latin X.
