Lowercase q

PrintableASCII 113 | Hex 0x71 | U+0071
ASCII 113 holds lowercase q. In Unix, the q command quits many interactive programs, including less, top, and vim (:q). In English, q is almost always followed by u, a spelling convention inherited from Latin. Without the qu pairing, q appears mainly in transliterations of Arabic and Chinese (qi, qat, qoph). In TypeScript and other typed languages, the question mark after a property name (prop?: type) marks it as optional.
