Source: Noto Sans Source: Browser Default

U+A72E "" Latin Capital Letter Cuatrillo with Comma is a specialized letter used primarily in historical and linguistic transcriptions of certain Mayan languages, representing a distinct glottalized or ejective sound, specifically a voiceless uvular plosive with a glottal release. It is a majuscule form derived from the numeral "four" (cuatrillo) in Spanish, modified with a trailing comma-like diacritic to indicate its unique phonetic value. This character belongs to a small set of unconventional Latin extensions developed for the standardized writing of indigenous Mesoamerican languages during early missionary and colonial linguistic work, though it remains rare in modern digital typography. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures preservation and accurate representation of these specialized orthographic traditions.
