U+2CB8 "Ⲹ" Coptic Capital Letter Dialect-P Kapa is a variant of the Greek-based letter kappa used specifically in the Coptic script for the Sahidic dialect, where it represents a voiceless velar plosive sound. This character forms part of the Coptic alphabet's extended set, which was standardized to encode distinct letters for different regional Coptic dialects, with "Dialect-P" referring to its use in the Sahidic literary tradition. Typographically, it resembles a capital Kappa but may feature a slightly different stroke angle or top shape compared to the standard Coptic Kapa, preserving the linguistic nuances of early Coptic manuscripts.
