Ċ
Ċ (minuscule: ċ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from C with the addition of a dot.
Usage[edit]
Chechen[edit]
Ċ is present in the Chechen Latin alphabet, created in the 1990s. The Cyrillic equivalent is ЦӀ, which represents the sound /tsʼ/.[1]
Irish[edit]
Ċ was formerly used in Irish to represent the lenited form of C. The digraph ch, which is older than ċ in this function in Irish, is now used.[2]
Maltese[edit]
Ċ is the third letter of the Maltese alphabet, preceded by B and followed by D. It represents the voiceless postalveolar affricate [tʃ].[3]
Old English[edit]
Ċ is sometimes used in modern scholarly transcripts of Old English to represent [tʃ], to distinguish it from c pronounced as [k], which is otherwise spelled identically. Its voiced equivalent is Ġ.[4]
