Tsʼo, or Cʼo (majuscule: Ց; minuscule: ց; Armenian: ցո; Classical Armenian: ցօ) is the thirty-third letter of the Armenian alphabet. It represents the voiceless aspirated alveolar affricate (/t͡sʰ/) in both Eastern and Western varieties of Armenian. Created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century, it has a numerical value of 6000.[1] Its shape in capital is visually similar to one other Armenian letter, Hi (Յ) or the number 8. Its shape in lowercase is also similar to the minuscule form of the Latin letter G (g). In cursive, both letters are similar to a cursive Y.
