You could have made the file extension ".k7" which is short for "cassette" in French.
Great work of course, just a fun suggestion ;)

I wonder if a numeric in a file extension would cause problems in some systems or violates some convention.

At least on Windows, bzip2 and 7z have been common archives for a while. Additionally, ps1 is used by Windows PowerShell. I expect the former two to cause no issues on common Unix distros either.

I think 7zip uses 7z almost everywhere by default ?

K7 also works in Portuguese, and possibly other languages.

I mean, while K exists in the Portuguese alphabet, no words use it.

W, K, and Y were added back to the Portuguese alphabet in 2009, after going away in 1943, exactly because there are words using them.
Also k is widely used in SMS language.
