ҡ
U+04A1 "ҡ" Cyrillic Small Letter Bashkir Ka is a distinct letter used in the Cyrillic script specifically for the Bashkir language, where it represents the voiceless uvular plosive sound /q/. This character is derived from the standard Cyrillic letter Ka (К, к) with an additional descender or hook on its lower right stem, visually distinguishing it as a dedicated glyph for the Bashkir alphabet. It is primarily employed in written Bashkir, a Turkic language spoken primarily in the Republic of Bashkortostan within the Russian Federation, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and processing of this linguistic feature.
