U+2C69 "Ⱪ" Latin Capital Letter K with Descender Unicode Character

U+2C69 "Ⱪ" Latin Capital Letter K with Descender is a modified variant of the standard Latin letter K that includes a short downward stroke, or descender, attached to the bottom of its stem. This character is primarily used in the orthography of certain Turkic languages, such as Uyghur, to represent a voiceless uvular plosive sound that is distinct from the regular /k/ sound. It was added to the Unicode Standard as part of the Latin Extended-C block to support the accurate digital representation of these languages in modern computing and text processing.
