U+040C "Ќ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Kje Unicode Character

U+040C "Ќ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Kje is a letter used in the Macedonian Cyrillic alphabet, where it represents the voiceless palatal plosive sound /c/ similar to the "t" sound in the English word "tune" when pronounced with a sharp palatalization. It is derived from the Cyrillic letter К (Ka) with an acute accent, and its lowercase counterpart is U+045C "ќ". In historical contexts, the character also appeared in some early Serbo-Croatian orthographies, though it is now primarily associated with the standard Macedonian language, where it appears in words such as "ќерка" meaning daughter.
