Unicode Version 17.0
𖹕
U+16E55 "𖹕" Medefaidrin Capital Letter Q is a glyph representing the uppercase form of the letter Q in the Medefaidrin script, an artificial alphabet created in the early 20th century by members of the ObÉ›nÉ› OkpÉ” (Obeni Oko) community in Nigeria as a sacred writing system for their Christian religious movement. This character is part of the Medefaidrin block in Unicode, which was added in version 11.0 released in 2018, and it is used to represent a voiceless or aspirated sound equivalent to the English "kw" in written texts of that language. As a capital letter, it appears at the start of sentences or proper names, distinguished from its lowercase counterpart (U+16E6D "ð–¹") by its larger size and typically more formal shape.
