U+AB06 "ꬆ" Ethiopic Syllable Ttho Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+AB06 "ꬆ" Ethiopic Syllable Ttho is a specific glyph used in writing certain Ethiopian and Eritrean languages, representing a syllable pronounced as /tːʰo/ where the initial consonant is a voiceless aspirated dental ejective with a lengthened release, often employed in transliterating sounds from other languages into the Ge'ez script. This character belongs to the Ethiopic Extended-A block, which was added to the Unicode standard to support a broader range of phonetic and linguistic needs beyond the core Ge'ez syllabary. Its shape combines a base consonant sign with a diacritic mark to indicate the vowel o and the specialized th sound, making it essential for accurately rendering liturgical texts, historical documents, or modern transcriptions that require precise phonetic representation.
