Ⱨⱨ, Ⱪⱪ, and Ⱬⱬ were used in the New Script for Uyghur (Uyƣur Yəngi Yəziⱪ), which was in use 1965-1982.[1] Before Uyƣur Yəngi Yəziⱪ, Uyghur was written with a Cyrillic script (Uyghur Siril Yëziqi) and these letters were simply borrowed from it.[2] Ꞑꞑ was used in Jaꞑalif, a Latin alphabet for Tatar which was in use 1928-1939.[3]
There is no modifying or combining diacritic; there are only precomposed characters with descenders. Note that letters with descenders may be confused with same looking Cyrillic characters, which have different code points.
