Abkhazian Che is used in the alphabet of theAbkhaz language, where it represents thevoiceless retroflex affricate/ʈʂ/. In the alphabet, it is placed between⟨Ҷ⟩ and⟨Ҿ⟩.

Cche orDouble Che (Ꚇ ꚇ; italics:Ꚇ ꚇ) is a letter of theCyrillic script.[2] It was used in the oldAbkhaz alphabets, where it represents thevoiceless retroflex affricate/ʈ͡ʂ/. The letter was invented by baronPeter von Uslar. In 1862 he published his linguistic study "Абхазский язык".[3] The letter is Ҽ-shaped but in 1887 Uslar's study was reprinted by M. Zavadskiy who changed its shape and the result resembled a Cyrillic Ч doubled.[3] Later the letter returned to its initial form which, created by linguist Uslar, is part of the modernAbkhaz alphabet, which is depicted asҼ.
