U+AB04 "ꬄ" Ethiopic Syllable Tthee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꬄ
U+AB04 "ꬄ" Ethiopic Syllable Tthee is a glyph belonging to the Ethiopic Extended-A block, which represents a specific syllabic sound in the Geʽez script used for various languages in the Horn of Africa. This character corresponds to the syllable “tthee,” where the initial consonant is a retroflex or emphatic dental consonant, and is part of a set of extensions designed to accommodate sounds not found in classical Geʽez. It encodes a phonological unit that occurs in languages such as Gurage or other Ethiopic languages that require additional syllabic signs beyond the traditional Fidel syllabary. As a modern addition to the Unicode Standard, it facilitates accurate digital representation and text processing for these languages.
