U+040B "Ћ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Tshe Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+040B "Ћ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Tshe is a distinctive letter in the Serbian Cyrillic alphabet, where it represents the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate sound /tɕ/, similar to the "ch" in "cheese" but pronounced with the tongue slightly palatalized. Originating from a modification of the earlier Cyrillic letter Tshe, it was standardized in the 19th century by the Serbian language reformer Vuk Karadžić to distinctly represent a specific sound in Serbian phonology. The letter is used primarily in Serbian and occasionally in other South Slavic languages such as Montenegrin and Bosnian, and it stands as the 23rd letter in the Serbian Cyrillic order, corresponding directly to the Latin digraph "Ć" in the Gaj's Latin alphabet used for Croatian and Serbian. Its uppercase form features a tall stem with a looped top and a small descender, giving it a unique visual identity among Cyrillic characters.
