Peter Constable thought maybe a "couple" and you illustrate
no additional characters required.
I'll split the difference and say one. The kh (Х̡) with hoop
should typographically match the (Ӄ). Since the Cyrillic
Unicode encodes both (Ӄ) and (Қ), seems like the modified
(Х) should get the same treatment.
