Unicode Character K with a dot below Add. 17,245 | https://bl.syriac.uk/ms/1034 #1696

The K in Al-Kahira needs a dot below and this is missing in the unicode characters on Syriaca. I copied one from Wikipedia, but it's bold on Oxygen.

Thank you for your help! Rachel

The same character is needed for the K in Kala'un here: https://github.com/srophe/britishLibrary-data/blob/7ed9d834c099761265cdcb643468a8d01e06be53/data/tei/1034.xml#L234

@RachelEdney that is odd! You could try copying the character here: Ḳ to see if that works.

Otherwise, could you take a screenshot of Oxygen and attach it to this issue so we can see what you see?

As you can see here, the letter is bolded. Maybe this doesn't affect the display, it's just unusual to me.

Hmm it's possible that the font in Oxygen doesn't have that character, so it falls back on a different font that looks out of place? In any event, let's leave this issue open and we can check it on the website after we merge in your pull request
