U+2C0D "Ⰽ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Kako Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ⰽ
U+2C0D "Ⰽ" Glagolitic Capital Letter Kako is a character from the Glagolitic script, an early Slavic alphabet created in the 9th century by Saints Cyril and Methodius to translate religious texts. This uppercase letter represents the sound /k/ and is part of the Glagolitic block in the Unicode standard, used primarily in historical and scholarly contexts for writing Old Church Slavonic. Its name "Kako" derives from the Slavic word for "like" or "as," and the character is the counterpart to the lowercase form "ⰽ" (U+2C3D). While the Glagolitic script was eventually largely replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet in many Slavic regions, "Ⰽ" remains significant for linguists, paleographers, and enthusiasts of medieval Slavic manuscripts.
