Latin letter K with diagonal stroke
K with diagonal stroke (Ꝃ, ꝃ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from K with the addition of a diagonal bar through the leg.
Usage
This letter is used in medieval texts as an abbreviation for kalendas, calends, as well as for karta and kartam, a document or writ.[1][2] The same function could also be performed by "K with stroke" (Ꝁ, ꝁ), or "K with stroke and diagonal stroke" (Ꝅ, ꝅ).[1]
In the Breton language, this letter is used, mainly from the fifteenth to the twentieth century, to abbreviate Ker, a prefix used in place names, similar to the Welshcaer.[3]
