Kra (letter)
Kra (ĸ) is a character used when writing the Kalaallisut language spoken in Greenland. It is visually similar to a Latin small capital letter K and the Cyrillic letter к. Unusually for a Latin letter, it exists only in lower case form (like German ß).
It is used to denote the sound written as [q] in the International Phonetic Alphabet (the voiceless uvular plosive). For collation purposes, it is therefore considered to be a type of 'q', rather than a type of 'k', and should sort near 'q'.
Its Unicode code point is decimal 312 and hexadecimal U+0138.
