U+010D "č" Latin Small Letter C with Caron Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
č
U+010D "č" Latin Small Letter C with Caron is a modified version of the standard letter C, distinguished by a diacritical mark called a caron or háček placed above it, which typically indicates a "ch" sound as in the English word "chocolate." This character is integral to several Slavic languages, including Czech, Slovak, Slovene, and Croatian, as well as some Baltic and other languages, where it represents a specific phoneme distinct from the plain C. In the Latin alphabet, the caron denotes palatalization or a postalveolar affricate, making U+010D essential for accurate spelling and pronunciation in these linguistic traditions.
