U+134C "ፌ" Ethiopic Syllable Fee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ፌ
U+134C "ፌ" Ethiopic Syllable Fee is a script character used in the Ethiopic writing system, which is traditionally employed for Ge'ez, Amharic, Tigrinya, and other languages of the Horn of Africa. This particular character represents the syllable "fee," formed by modifying the base consonant Fä (ፈ) with the vowel diacritic for the sound "e," making it part of a rich syllabary where each consonant base combines with seven distinct vowel forms. While historically used for liturgical texts in the Ge'ez language, it remains actively used in modern digital communication for languages like Amharic, where it helps convey accurate pronunciation and meaning in written form.
