Ć is the fifth letter of the Bosnian, Croatian, Polish, Sorbian alphabets, with the same position in the Serbian and Macedonian versions of Latinic. It is formed by addition of an acute accent to the standard C letter used in most alphabets based on Latin script. It is also used in other alphabets: based on the Polish language, including the Belarusian Łacinka. Like its Latin counterpart, the Cyrillic alphabet has a specific symbol: Ћ, although this sign is only used in Serbian Cyrillic, Macedonian uses Ќ as a partial equivalent (only some accents contain the sound). Other languages which use the Cyrillic alphabet usually represent this sound by a combination of letters often including a soft sign (ie. Russian or )

Its phonetic value is [ʨ] and it is used to represent the voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate consonant.
