It is also adopted by Wymysorys a West-Germanic language spoken in Poland. It is also the fifth letter of the Wymysorys alphabet.
In Slovenian, it occurs only in loanwords, mainly from Serbo-Croatian, and denotes the same sound as Č, i.e. the voiceless palato-alveolar affricate.
The Serbian Cyrillic alphabet equivalent is Ћ. Macedonian uses Ќ as a partial equivalent. Other languages which use the Cyrillic alphabet usually represent this sound by the character combination ЧЬ. Ć is the same as the Sanskrit च.
The letter is also used in unofficial Belarusian Łacinka where it represents the palatalized alveolar affricate.Computing code
