The cuatrillo with comma

Cuatrillo (capital: Ꜭ, small: ꜭ) (Spanish for "little four") is a letter of several colonial Mayan alphabets in the Latin script that is based on the digit 4. It was invented by a Franciscan friar, Alonso de la Parra, in the 16th century to represent the velar ejective consonant Шаблон:IPAslink found in Mayan languages, and is known as one of the Parra letters.

A derivative of the cuatrillo by adding a diacritic, Шаблон:Angbr, was used for the alveolar ejective affricate Шаблон:IPAslink found in the same languages.

The cuatrillo is encoded in Unicode at the code points Шаблон:Unichar and Шаблон:Unichar, respectively. The cuatrillo-commas are at Шаблон:Unichar and Шаблон:Unichar.

As an example of use, the letter appears when spelling the name of the Kʼicheʼ language in the Parra orthography: Шаблон:Lang.[1]
