U+2DC5 "" Ethiopic Syllable Qye is a glyph from the Ethiopic Extended-A block, representing a consonant-vowel syllable in the Ge'ez script, specifically the sound "qyä" or "qye," which combines the velar ejective consonant "q" with the vowel "e." This character is part of a larger system of syllable symbols used for writing languages such as Amharic and Tigrinya, where it serves as a distinct unit in the abugida writing system. It was encoded in Unicode version 4.1 in 2005 to support historical and liturgical texts, as well as modern digital representation of Ethiopic languages.
