Latin Capital Letter K With Stroke And Diagonal Stroke Letter Meaning
Ꝅ (U+A744) is a Latin capital letter “K” variant distinguished by both a horizontal stroke and a diagonal stroke. In Unicode it is formally named “LATIN CAPITAL LETTER K WITH STROKE AND DIAGONAL STROKE,” reflecting its letter shape rather than a broadly used symbolic meaning. As an obscure, character-specific glyph, it’s most relevant when reproducing a particular orthography, manuscript-style spelling, or font-accurate design. For most everyday writing, a standard “K” is enough; Ꝅ matters when exact glyph choice is required for correctness or stylistic fidelity.

- •Using the exact Unicode character in academic typography or transcription work
- •Designing posters or titles that require a particular K glyph variant
