Aleut Ka

Aleut Ka (Ԟ&nbsp;ԟ; italics: <span style="font-family: times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: larger">Ԟ&nbsp;ԟ</span>) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. It is formed from the Cyrillic letter Ka (К&nbsp;к) by adding a stroke to the upper diagonal arm.

Aleut Ka was used in the alphabet of the Aleut language in the 19th century, where it represented the voiceless uvular plosive (like the ‘k’ in ‘kite’ but uvular). During the revival of the Aleut Cyrillic alphabet in the 1980s it has been replaced by the Ka with hook.
