Kra (letter) - Definition

Kra (ĸ) is a character used when writing the Kalaallisut language spoken in Greenland. It is visually similar to the Latin letter K and the Cyrillic letter к. Unusually for a Latin letter (but like �), it exists only in lower case form.

It is used to denote /q/ (uvular stop). For collation purposes, it is therefore considered to be a type of 'q', rather than a type of 'k', and should sort near 'q'.

Unicode code point: decimal 312, hex 138

HTML entity: ĸ or ĸ
