About this symbol
In the braille alphabet, Q is the cell with dots 1 2 3 4 5 raised. Dots are numbered 1, 2, 3 down the left column and 4, 5, 6 down the right.
The second row of the alphabet, k to t, repeats the first row with dot 3 added, so Q is G plus dot 3. Louis Braille built the whole system on this pattern, first published in 1829.
