Adding letter Kra (ĸ) to Special Characters Toolbar
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I often use the letter Kra (ĸ), when I write articles, but I always have to copy and paste it from anywhere else to type it, because it isn't included in the toolbar above the editing window. There it would fit perfectly into the special characters category "Latin extended", where many other historic and very rare letters are listed. The small letter ist typed above and a capital letter doesn't exist. It would be very nice, if you'd add it.
Thanks, Kenny McFly

This would be a good simple task for a first-time contributor to MediaWiki. You can find the list of characters in the file /resources/src/mediawiki.language/specialcharacters.json (it is used by both visual editor and wikitext editor).
