    • 2017 August 20, Jon Butterworth, “Newly discovered particles, and what's in them”, in The Guardian[1] (in English):
      Those smaller particles are quarks in this case, meaning that the Ξcc++ is a hadron—the generic name for particles made of quarks.
  2. (Can we verify(+) this sense?) (cryptocurrencies) Ether (monetary units of the cryptocurrency used in Ethereum)
    Synonyms: ETH, (uncommon)
    • 2018, Andreas M. Antonopoulos; Gavin Wood, chapter 2, in Mastering Ethereum [] [2] (in English), O'Reilly Media, →ISBN:
      Ethereum's currency unit is called ether, identified also as “ETH” or with the symbols Ξ (from the Greek letter “Xi” that looks like a stylized capital E) or, less often, ♦: for example, 1 ether, or 1 ETH, or Ξ1, or ♦1.
