K with stroke (Ꝁ, ꝁ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, derived from K with the addition of a bar through the letter.
It was used in Latin as an abbreviation for words that start with k. In Old Norse it was used for "konungr" (king) or to abbreviate the word "skulu" (shall) to "sꝁ".{{cite web|title=Proposal to add medievalist characters to the UCS|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716181924/http://www.mufi.info/proposals/n3027-medieval.pdf |url=http://www.mufi.info/proposals/n3027-medieval.pdf |work=30 January 2006|publisher=International Organization for Standardization|accessdate=2 January 2011|archivedate=16 July 2011}}
