Unicode Version 17.0
𐺝
U+10E9D "𐺝" Yezidi Letter Kaf is a character from the Yezidi script, a writing system used historically and in modern revitalization efforts for the Kurmanji dialect of the Kurdish language, particularly within the Yezidi religious community. This specific letter represents a consonant sound akin to the voiceless velar plosive /k/, similar to the English letter "K". It is part of the Unicode block for Yezidi script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in June 2020 with version 13.0 to support the cultural and linguistic preservation of the Yezidi people. The character's design follows the general form of other letters in the Yezidi alphabet, which is written from right to left and features a distinctive, connected cursive style.
