Unicode Version 17.0
ㄔ
U+3114 "ㄔ" Bopomofo Letter Ch is a phonetic symbol used in the Bopomofo (Zhuyin Fuhao) system, which serves as a transliteration tool for Mandarin Chinese pronunciation. It represents the retroflex affricate sound /tʂʰ/, similar to the "ch" in the English word "chin" but with the tongue curled back. This character is primarily employed in Taiwanese Mandarin education and some keyboard input methods to help learners and users accurately produce the correct phonetic sound without relying on Romanized pinyin. As part of the Unicode standard, it is encoded in the Bopomofo block and is distinct from similar-looking characters in other scripts, ensuring consistent digital representation across platforms.
