letter K
Follows J alphabetically
The letter K is the eleventh letter of the English alphabet.
It represents a hard sound identical to C in most positions, making one of them redundant—a quirk of English spelling history.
K typically appears before E, I, and Y where C would sound soft: keen, kid, sky.
In informal writing, K alone means okay: K, see you then.
