Capital and small K with stroke and diagonal stroke is encoded in Unicode as of version 5.1, at codepoints U+A744 and U+A745. [3] [4]

In Old English texts, the stroke tended to be more slanted, while in Old Norse texts it was straight. In Middle English times, the ascender of the þ was reduced, which caused the thorn with stroke abbreviation to be replaced with a thorn with a small t above the letter.
