U+1C8A "ᲊ" Cyrillic Small Letter Tje Unicode Character

U+1C8A "ᲊ" Cyrillic Small Letter Tje is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, encoded as part of the Cyrillic Extended C block. It represents a specific letter used in certain Cyrillic orthographies, most notably in the Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic alphabet where it is used to denote a voiceless palato-alveolar affricate sound, equivalent to the Latin letter "Ć" and the Serbian Cyrillic letter "Ћ". This character is distinct from other similar Cyrillic letters, such as "Т" or "Ћ", and its inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation of the tje sound in modern and historical texts that require this specific phonological distinction.
