The qo is a complicated enough symbol that the similarity is worth noting.  Maybe the Author chose qo for whatever-it-means in Voynchese because he was familiar with that code (or some other code that used similar symbols) and liked that symbol specifically.

But there are other symbols on that page that look like symbols of other languages, like ラ (Japanese KATAKANA LETTER RA), ✂ (BLACK SCISSORS) and ∞ (INFINITY).  So the qo may still be just a meaningless coincidence.

All the best, --stolfi
