Kra in the Greenlandic-Danish dictionary of 1926
The letter is used to denote a deaf uvular explosive consonant [ q ]. In alphabetical sorting, it is therefore considered that it should be located in the alphabet after Q, not K.
The Unicode code for the lowercase letter Kra is U + 0138 LATIN SMALL LETTER KRA. It can be capitalized as Kʼ , but is not encoded separately as a single letter, because this combination is very similar to the Latin capital letter Κ followed by the apostrophe ( ʼ ) [1] .
In 1973, spelling reform in Greenland replaced Kra with Latin Q.
Kra, Latin K, capitalized (if available) and Cyrillic lowercase k in fonts: Arial , Times New Roman , Doulos SIL, Cambria, Linux Libertine , Andron Mega Corpus, Adobe Minion Pro, Courier New , and Consolas. Second row: the same fonts in italics.
