U+127D "ች" Ethiopic Syllable Ce Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ች
U+127D "ች" Ethiopic Syllable Ce is a symbol from the Ethiopic script, used primarily for writing languages like Amharic and Tigrinya, where it represents the syllable "Ce" with an inherent vowel sound. This character is part of a larger syllabary system, which evolved from the Ge'ez script, and it is encoded in Unicode to support digital text representation for these East African languages. Its shape features a distinct central loop and vertical strokes, typical of the Ethiopic writing system's geometric and angular aesthetic.
