Letter edit
c (upper case C)
- The third letter of the basic modern Latin alphabet.
Usage notes edit
- Not to be confused with ϲ (s) (the lunate sigma).
- In many languages, the letter c represents both a “hard” /k/ sound and a “soft” sound (/s/, /ts/, /tʃ/, or /θ/), based on the following letter.
- In a number of languages, it is used only for the /tʃ/ sound.
- In many languages, it occurs frequently in the digraph with ch.
- In some romanization systems of non-Latin scripts, it represents /tʃ/, /θ/, or /tsʰ/.

Etymology 1 edit
Old English lower case letter c, from 7th century replacement by Latin lower case c of the Anglo-Saxon Futhorc letter ᚳ (c, “cen”).
Pronunciation edit
- (phoneme): IPA(key): /k/, /s/, /tʃ/, ...
