Source: Browser Default
U+051A "Ԛ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Qa is a rarely used letter found in the Cyrillic script, specifically designed to represent the voiceless uvular plosive sound /q/, which is not present in standard Russian but occurs in certain languages of the Caucasus region, such as Abkhaz and Ossetian. It belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-B block and was added to the Unicode standard to support the accurate encoding of these minority languages in digital text. The lowercase counterpart is U+051B "ԛ," and the letter is typically transliterated into Latin script as "q" or "ḳ."
