It is visually similar to a Latin alphabet Latin small capital letter K and the Greek alphabet Greek letter kappa Kappa . It is used to denote the sound written as IPA q in the International Phonetic Alphabet the voiceless uvular plosive . For collation purposes, it is therefore considered to be a type of q , rather than a type of k , and should sort near q . Its Unicode code point for the lowercase form is decimal 312 and hexadecimal U 0138. If this is unavailable, q is substituted. The letter can be capitalized as , but it is not encoded separately as a single letter because it is very similar to the Latin capital letter K followed by the six shaped apostrophe turned high comma .

File Thai Canal map de.jpg thumb Map of the Thai Canal The Thai Canal formerly known as Kra Canal or Kra Isthmus Canal refers to a plan for a large canal that would cut through southern Thailand to enable improved transportation in the region, like the Panama Canal and Suez Canal . History As the Malay Peninsula lengthens the shipping routes around Asia significantly, a canal through the Kra Isthmus was suggested as early as 1677, when the Thai King Narai the Great asked the French engineer de Lamar to survey the possibility of building a waterway to connect Songkhla with Marid now Myanmar . It turned out too impractical with the technology of that time. In 1793 the idea resurfaced when the younger brother of King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke Chakri Rama I suggested it to make it easier to protect the western coast with military ships. Also in the early 18th century the British East India Company became interested in a canal. After Burma became a British colony in 1863 with Kawthaung Victoria Point opposite the Kra estuary as its southernmost point, an exploration was undertaken, again with negative result. In 1882 the constructor of the Suez canal, Ferdinand de Lesseps , visited the area, but wasn t allowed to investigate in detail by the Thai king. In 1897 Thailand and the British empire ... .
