U+A792 "Ꞓ" Latin Capital Letter C with Bar Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+A792 "Ꞓ" Latin Capital Letter C with Bar is a specialized glyph used primarily in linguistic transcription, where the horizontal bar over the letter distinguishes it from a standard C to represent a specific sound, such as a voiceless palatal fricative or a modified postalveolar affricate in certain orthographies. This character belongs to the Latin Extended-D block and is distinct from similar-looking symbols like the Cyrillic letter Es with dieresis, as its design explicitly merges a Latin capital C with a bar placed through its ascender. It is employed in academic works, notably in descriptions of Slavic languages or in the Uralic Phonetic Alphabet, to denote a unique phoneme that cannot be adequately captured by a plain C. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures consistent digital representation across fonts and platforms, supporting precise linguistic analysis and documentation.
