What does 7ajm mean in Arabizi?

7ajm is how you write حَجْم in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “size, volume”.

The number in 7ajm
7ح

The 7 stands for ح (ḥa): a breathy h, deeper than English h. 7 bends the way ح bends.

For the rest of the chat alphabet, see the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.
