How Do You Spell Q?
The letter "Q" is unique in the English alphabet as it is always accompanied by the letter "U". It is pronounced as /kjuː/ in IPA phonetic transcription, with the "k" sound followed by a "yoo" sound. In some loanwords, such as "qi" from Chinese, the "Q" may be pronounced as a "ch" sound. The spelling of "Q" has remained relatively unchanged throughout its history, with the earliest known instance of its use dating back to the Phoenician alphabet of 1000 BCE.
