Ȼ

This article is about the letter C with stroke. For the cent symbol (¢), see Cent (currency) § Symbol.

Ȼ (minuscule: ȼ) is a letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from C with the addition of a stroke through the letter. Its minuscule form represents the sound [ts] (ts as in cats) in certain phonetic transcription systems for the indigenous languages of Mexico,^[1] and the Saanich alphabet uses its majuscule form (the alphabet is caseless) for [kʷ] (qu as in quilt),^[2] and in Unifon, a phonemic transcription for American English; where it represents the sound of Ч.

Ȼ was added to Unicode 4.1 in 2005, in the Latin Extended-B block.^[3] It did previously not exist in character sets, and consequently, few fonts can display it. The cent sign is often substituted for it instead.
