Qa (Ԛ ԛ; italics: Ԛ ԛ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script. Its form is based on the Latin letter Q (Q q). Depending on the font, the uppercase form can look like a reversed Cyrillic letter Р, with the lowercase form also resembling a reversed Cyrillic letter Р.
Qa is used in the alphabet of the Kurdish language, where it represents the voiceless uvular plosive /q/. It was also used to represent /q’/, the uvular ejective stop (now represented by Ҟ ҟ), in the Translation Committee's Abkhaz alphabet, published around the turn of the 20th century, and to represent /q/ in three old Ossetian alphabets (now represented by Хь хъ).
This character appeared in newspapers and articles such as 1955's Кӧрдо.
The letter was also used in the scrapped version of the Azerbaijani alphabet. It was, however, eliminated and replaced by Ҝ in Dagestan.
