Not the same ķ (ķ) · K · Ǩ
Named, hex, decimal, CSS, and a typed character all produce the same glyph: Ķ. Prefer Ķ or Ķ in HTML markup. For the lowercase form see ķ; for K with caron see uppercase K caron.

How It Works
1. Named:Ķ is the HTML5 name for U+0136 → Ķ (case-sensitive: capital K).
2. Hex / decimal:Ķ or Ķ insert the same code point.
3. Typed: in a UTF-8 document you can paste Ķ directly — same glyph, no entity.
4. CSS: use \0136 in content (not an HTML entity). #point::after appends that Ķ after the paragraph text.
5. Latvian:lang="lv" marks the language; Ķirsis spells Ķirsis (cherry).
Pitfalls & Tips
Common mistakes when working with Uppercase K Cedilla.
Case
Named entity is case-sensitive
Ķ is capital K. ķ is the lowercase letter ķ, not a synonym.
Plain K
Not the same as plain K
Plain K (U+004B) has no cedilla. Do not substitute it when Ķ is required for correct Latvian spelling.
Caron
Not K with caron
U+01E8 (Ǩ) uses a caron (háček), not a cedilla. See uppercase K caron.
Prefer named
Prefer Ķ in HTML
The named form is easier to read in source than numeric codes. Use hex/decimal when you need numeric-only markup.
CSS vs HTML
Do not mix escapes
\0136 belongs in CSS strings. Ķ / Ķ / Ķ belong in HTML.
Fonts
Need Latin Extended-A coverage
Some fonts omit U+0136. Prefer fonts that cover Latin Extended-A (U+0100–U+017F).
