U+133A "ጺ" Ethiopic Syllable Tsi is a glyph from the Ethiopic block of the Unicode standard, representing a specific syllable in the Ge'ez script, which is historically used to write languages such as Ge'ez, Amharic, and Tigrinya. This character corresponds to the syllable pronounced "tsi" and is formed by modifying the base consonant sign "ጸ" (tsä) with a vowel diacritic that indicates the /i/ sound. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text in these languages can be accurately represented, exchanged, and rendered across modern computer systems, preserving the linguistic heritage of the Horn of Africa.
