X is also used as a representation of 'Ch' syllables in Greek loanwords and their related languages.

For example, Ancient Greece introduced the word 'Xenos' (which is pronounced 'Zenos').

However, the Greek way of pronouncing the letter X (or Chi, to be more precise) is 'CH-ee'. So, X is also sometimes used to represent the 'Ch' syllable.
