U+051E "Ԟ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Aleut Ka Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ԟ
U+051E "Ԟ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Aleut Ka is a modified Cyrillic letter used historically in the writing of the Aleut language, specifically to represent a velar or uvular stop sound distinct from the standard Russian Ka. This character, part of the Cyrillic Supplement block, was introduced in the early 20th century for a reformed orthography of Aleut spoken in Alaska and the Commander Islands, though its usage declined with subsequent alphabet changes. Its lowercase form is U+051F "ԟ", and the letter is notable for its unique shape, which combines a Cyrillic Ka with a diacritic-like hook or tail to indicate the phonetic nuance.
