U+049E "Ҟ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ka with Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ҟ
U+049E "Ҟ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Ka with Stroke is a modified letter from the Cyrillic script, formed by adding a horizontal stroke through the vertical stem of the standard Cyrillic letter Ka (К). This character is primarily used in the Abkhaz language, where it represents the voiceless aspirated velar plosive sound /kʰ/, distinguishing it from the plain Ka. It is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block in Unicode, encoded in 1999, and its lowercase counterpart is U+049F "ҟ". The stroke serves as a diacritical modification to indicate a specific phonetic value not found in most other Cyrillic-based alphabets.
