U+30C1 "チ" Katakana Letter Ti Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+30C1 "チ" Katakana Letter Ti is a character in the Katakana script used primarily for writing the Japanese language, where it represents the syllable "chi" (phonetically /t͡ɕi/), despite the official Unicode name calling it "Ti." As one of the 46 basic katakana characters, it is employed in modern Japanese to write foreign loanwords, onomatopoeia, technical terms, and for emphasis in text. The character is visually derived from the kanji 千 (meaning "thousand") and is written with three strokes, featuring a distinctive curved top stroke and two downward diagonal lines. It belongs to the Katakana block in the Universal Coded Character Set, and its usage spans both digital and print contexts, where it remains an essential component of the Japanese writing system.
