U+0138 Latin Small Letter Kra
U+0138 was added in Unicode version 1.1 in 1993. It belongs to the block
This character is a Lowercase Letter and is mainly used in the Latin script.
The glyph is not a composition. Its width in East Asian texts is determined by its context. It can be displayed wide or narrow. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+0138 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it. The glyph can be confused with 18 other glyphs.
The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:
Kra (Kʼ / ĸ) is a glyph formerly used to write the Kalaallisut language (also known as Greenlandic) of Greenland and is now only found in Nunatsiavummiutut, a distinct Inuktitut dialect. It is visually similar to a Latin small capital letter K, a Greek letter Kappa: κ, or a Cyrillic small letter Ka: к.
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 for the lowercase form is U+0138 ĸ LATIN SMALL LETTER KRA (ĸ). If this is unavailable, q is substituted. The letter can be capitalized as Kʼ, but it is not encoded separately as a single letter because it is very similar to the Latin capital letter K followed by an apostrophe, preferably the modifier letter apostrophe, U+02BC ʼ MODIFIER LETTER APOSTROPHE.
In 1973, a spelling reform replaced kra in Greenlandic with the Latin small letter q (and its capital form, with the Latin capital letter Q).
