Che, or Če (majuscule: Ճ; minuscule: ճ; Armenian: ճե; Classical Armenian: ճէ) is the nineteenth letter of the Armenian alphabet. It represents the voiceless palato-alveolar affricate (/t͡ʃ/) in standard Eastern Armenian, and the voiced palato-alveolar affricate (/d͡ʒ/) in western varieties of Armenian. Created by Mesrop Mashtots in the 5th century, it has a numerical value of 100.[1] Its shape is visually similar to the Cyrillic letter, Be (б). Its shape in lowercase form is also similar to the minuscule form of the Latin letter B (b).
