U+0136 "Ķ" Latin Capital Letter K with Cedilla Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ķ
U+0136 "Ķ" Latin Capital Letter K with Cedilla is a modified letter derived from the standard Latin K, distinguished by a small cedilla mark (a hook-like diacritic) attached beneath the letter. This character is primarily used in the Latvian and Livonian languages, where it represents a specific palatalized or postalveolar consonant sound, differing from the plain /k/ in those phonetic systems. As part of the Latin Extended-A block in Unicode, it is typically employed in written texts to denote accurate spelling and pronunciation, and its lowercase counterpart, U+0137 "ķ" (Latin Small Letter K with Cedilla), is similarly defined for standard orthographic use.
