Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+AB05 "ꬅ" Ethiopic Syllable Tthe is a specific letter in the extended Ethiopic script, used to represent a consonant vowel sequence in certain languages of the Horn of Africa, particularly those requiring additional characters beyond the standard Ge'ez syllabary. This character corresponds to the sound of a retroflex or emphatic "t" followed by a falling vowel, often transcribed as "tthe" in linguistic and pedagogical contexts. It is part of the Ethiopic Extended block of Unicode, which was introduced to support the full orthographic needs of languages like Gamo, Gofa, and some other Omotic and Semitic tongues.
