U+A745 "ꝅ" Latin Small Letter K with Stroke and Diagonal Stroke Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A745 "ꝅ" Latin Small Letter K with Stroke and Diagonal Stroke is a specialized typographic glyph used primarily in historical medieval and early modern Latin orthography, particularly in scribal abbreviations and manuscript traditions. It represents a modified form of the letter 'k' that was employed to denote a specific phonetic value or to serve as a shorthand in various European languages, such as Old English or Old Norse, where the additional diagonal stroke distinguished it from the standard 'k' or indicated a particular vowel or consonant shift. This character is part of the Latin Extended-D block and is rarely encountered in modern digital text, but it is preserved in Unicode to support scholarly transcription and paleographic research, allowing for accurate representation of historical documents.
