Unicode Version 17.0
ⷌ
U+2DCC "ⷌ" Ethiopic Syllable Kyee is a typographic symbol used in the Ge'ez script, which is employed for writing several languages of the Horn of Africa, including Amharic and Tigrinya. This specific character represents the syllable "kyee," distinguished by the addition of a diacritical mark to the base consonant glyph to indicate its unique vowel sound within the Ethiopic syllabary. It forms part of the Unicode Ethiopic Extended block, which was added to support a wider range of sounds and syllabic variations beyond the core Ethiopic script.
