C with bar
The C with bar (majuscule: Ꞓ, minuscule: ꞓ), also known as barred C, is a modified letter of the Latin alphabet, formed from C with the addition of a bar. It was used in the orthography of Kildin Sami in the 1930s. It is also used in the orthoraphy of Nanai.[1] Its Unicode codepoints are U+A792 Ꞓ LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH BAR and U+A793 ꞓ LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH BAR.
The United States Federal Geographic Data Committee uses the capital barred C to represent the Cambrian Period in geologic history.[2] In phonetic transcription, the lowercase barred C was used for a voiceless non-sibilant palato-alveolar fricative and for a voiceless palatal fricative (IPA: [ç]) in the mid-20th century.[3] In 19th-century American English dictionaries by Noah Webster and by William Holmes McGuffey, the letter was used to denote ⟨c⟩ pronounced as /k/.[1]
