    Actually, zooming in now, I see you've only faded the last wee section of the Ꙩ.

    Ok, assuming that's a stroke, click on the circle, then Object > Path > Add Acnhor Points, do this twice. More won't hurt.

    Then Direct Select sections of line going clockwise from noon and delete the first one or two (etc) from about noon. Then Duirect Select the stroke from wherever you deleted until about 3 or 4 o'clock, Cut and then paste in place. This way you should end up with two arcs - one smaller, which will have the gradient, the other longer which will complete the tail.

    Then you can do the above stroke outlining and you can do the gradient on just the smaller section, which should make planning it a bit easier, rather than faffing with radial gradients.
