0138 LATIN SMALL LETTER KRA (Greenlandic) is very similar
to a small capital "K". It is used in the older
orthography for Greenlandic. A new orthography, where it
is replaced by "q", was introduced in the 70's. The kra
is said to still be used in person names. I have never
heard of it being used in any other language.
Through correspondence with an expert on Greenland I have
learnt that, when capitalized, kra is replaced by "K'",
i.e. an ordinary "K" followed by an apostrophe.
