Ć in upper and lowercase

The grapheme Ć (minuscule: ć), formed from C with the addition of an acute accent, is used in various languages. It usually denotes [ʨ], the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate, including in phonetic transcription. Its Unicode codepoints are U+0106 for Ć and U+0107 for ć.

The symbol originated in the Polish alphabet and was adopted into South Slavic languages in the 19th century. It is the fifth letter of: Polish, Sorbian, Croatian, and Bosnian alphabets, as well as the Latin forms of Serbian and Macedonian. It is fourth in the Belarusian Łacinka alphabet.

The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet equivalent is Ћ. Macedonian uses Ќ as a partial equivalent (though only some regional accents contain the sound). Other languages which use the Cyrillic alphabet usually represent this sound by the character Ч.
