C with stroke
letter of the Latin alphabet
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. The Saanich alphabet uses its majuscule form (the alphabet is caseless) for [kʷ] (qu as in quilt). In Unifon, a phonemic transcription for American English, it represents /tʃ/.
Biology
In French-speaking countries, ȼ (lowercase barred c) is a note-taking abbreviation for cellule (cell).
Use on computers
Ȼ was added to Unicode 4.1 in 2005, in the Latin Extended-B block. It did not previously exist in character sets, and consequently some fonts may not display it; it is often substituted by the cent sign ⟨¢⟩.

Why this record matters
“C with stroke” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, stroke, letter and Latin provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q423464. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
