U+A7AF "ꞯ" Latin Letter Small Capital Q Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꞯ
U+A7AF "ꞯ" Latin Letter Small Capital Q is a typographic variant of the letter Q, designed as a small capital form rather than a lowercase or uppercase letter, and it was added to the Unicode standard to support historical and phonetic transcription needs, particularly in linguistic documentation where small capitals are used to denote specific sounds or grammatical distinctions. It is part of the Latin Extended D block and is notable for its resemblance to a superscript or reduced version of a standard capital Q, yet it retains its own distinct codepoint for precise encoding in digital text.
