I haven't seen this phonetic symbol before either.

Maybe there is a printing mistake.

如果你不是搞英语研究的话，就没必要再花时间在这个音标上了，有很多英语知识点更值得花时间去学习。呵呵。说不定以后自然就知道了。

一下为老外的解释：

It is unvoiced and is pronounced near the back of the throat -- it's an unvoiced uvular fricative, and actually the symbol is not (or should not be) an x, but a similar character that looks like the Greek letter chi [χ]. The sound doesn't occur in English, so very often it's replaced by [k]. The IPA is basically an agreed system of representing sounds. The problem is that when describing how words are pronounced in different languages, it's not always very easy.

大概意思是：这个音标表示的是一个没有明显发声的音，只是类似于小舌摩擦音（学过德语或法语的同学应该有体会），这种音不出现在英语里，所以通常用[k]取代了。

uvular 指悬雍垂的，即小舌头的。。。如：uvular trill 小舌颤音
