Aik Bekar (AIQ BKR) is a method of Kabbalistic temurah (Hebrew, substitution), an alphabet cipher wherein the 22 letters and 5 'final' forms, according to their numerical values. The name of the cipher is drawn from the the letters in the first two chambers.

To use the code, a letter can be substitued for any other letter in its chamber.

Aik Bekar has also historically been used by magicians to create sigils of spirits and demons using the values of their names traced on the squares (kamea) of the planets.
