K 'ĸ

Kra ( ĸ ) is a letter that was previously used in the Latin spelling of Greenlandic ( Kalaallisut ). The 1973 Greenland spelling reform completely replaced it with q . The letter looks something like a K - small caps (capital K in the height of lower case letters without ascender or descender ), the Greek small kappa ( κ ) or the Cyrillic small к . It only exists as a minuscule ; in capitalized words that begin with the sound, a normal K was written followed by an apostrophe , e.g. B. K'ânâĸ . A proposal to include a corresponding capital letter in Unicode was not accepted.

The phonetic value of the grapheme corresponds to [ q ] in the International Phonetic Alphabet, i.e. H. the voiceless uvular plosive . In questions of sorting it is seen as a variant of the q and is classified like this or after it.

In Unicode it is contained as U + 0138 latin small letter kra (decimal: 312), in ISO 6937 it has the position 0xF0.
