Techinically, it's a "voiced k".  But,




Whatever it is, it certainly isn't voiced. If you compare these
sequences:

poo   pfoo    foo
tart   chart    shark
k       kx       x

x bears the same relation to k as f does to p. It is an unvoiced
(wherever k is pronounced) fricative.


In lojban, it's probably perfectly legal to voice it (there's
nothing else similar).

It's just IPA /x/, hence the spelling.
