Ka with hook (Ӄ ӄ; italics:Ӄ ӄ) is a letter of theCyrillic script. It is formed from theCyrillic letter Ka (К к) by the addition of ahook.
Ka with hook is widely used in the alphabets of Siberia and theRussian Far East:Chukchi,Koryak,Alyutor,Itelmen,Yupik,Aleut,Nivkh,Ket,Tofalar andSelkup, where it represents thevoiceless uvular plosive/q/. It has been sometimes used in theKhanty language as a substitute forCyrillic letter Ka with descender, Қ қ, which also stands for/q/.
