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] 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],[2] and in Unifon, a phonemic transcription for American English; where it represents the sound of Ч.

Use on computers
editȻ 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.
