U+1E35 "ḵ" Latin Small Letter K with Line Below Unicode Character

U+1E35 "ḵ" Latin Small Letter K with Line Below is a modified version of the standard Latin letter K, distinguished by a short horizontal line drawn directly beneath it. This diacritical mark is used primarily in the romanization of certain languages, such as Arabic and Hebrew, to represent a specific consonantal sound, often the voiceless uvular plosive /q/, which differs from the standard /k/ sound. In linguistic and transliteration contexts, the line below indicates a more emphatic or guttural pronunciation, and the character is part of the Latin Extended Additional block in Unicode, supporting accurate textual representation across digital platforms.
