ጤ
U+1324 "ጤ" Ethiopic Syllable Thee is a character in the Ethiopic script used for writing languages like Amharic and Tigrinya, representing a specific syllable that combines the consonant "th" with the vowel "e" (pronounced like the "th" in "thee" with a long e sound). It is part of the Unicode Standard's Ethiopic block, which was established to digitally encode the ancient Ge'ez script and its modern derivatives. This character, like others in the family, follows the syllabary system where consonant and vowel components are visually combined into a single ligature form.
