We do. The name of Q is "kybu".

I meant more distinctive names, as per the example I mentioned for Arabic ج

I don't know what you mean by distinctive. Each name is associated with exactly one thing. .uibu, for example, is the name of ":)". You can't use .uibu to refer to anything else.

 

  Well, that's not exactly true.  Depends on context.  For example ky bu is q, ga'e ky bu is Q, je'o ky bu is  ק and presumably jo'o ky bu is ق (forgive me if I have that wrong, Muhammad)

 

      --gejyspa

Every one of those examples is different, gejyspa, and illustrates what I said perfectly. {je'o ky. bu} is not {ky bu}.
