U+04B6 "Ҷ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Che with Descender Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ҷ
U+04B6 "Ҷ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Che with Descender is a variant of the Cyrillic letter Che, modified with a descender stroke beneath the character. It is primarily used in the alphabets of several minority languages in Russia and the former Soviet Union, such as Abkhaz, to represent specific sounds not covered by the standard Cyrillic alphabet. In Abkhaz, for example, it denotes a voiced postalveolar affricate sound, similar to the "j" in English "jam". This character is one of several Cyrillic letters with descenders that were created to expand the writing system for non-Slavic languages spoken within the region.
