Ĉ or ĉ (C circumflex) is a consonant in Esperanto orthography, representing the sound [t͡ʃ].
It is based on the letter c. Esperanto orthography uses a diacritic for all four of its postalveolar consonants, as do the Latin-based Slavic alphabets. Letters and digraphs that are similar to ĉ and represent the same sound include Slovene č, Albanian ç, Polish digraph cz, English and Spanish digraph ch, Estonian digraph tš, French trigraph tch, Norwegian trigraph tsj, German tetragraph tsch, and Italian c before i or e.
Ĉ is the fourth letter in Esperanto orthography. Although it is written as cx and ch respectively in the x-system and h-system workarounds, it is normally written as C with a circumflex: ĉ.
