Ethiopic syllable Cchu

ⶹ writes the CCHU syllable in Bench. Bench is an Omotic language of Ethiopia; Ethiopic writing gives each syllable its own character. The full word supplies its meaning.

The Ethiopic script developed from South Arabian writing. Around the 4th century CE, vowel notation reshaped its consonant letters into syllabic forms; ⶹ is a later Bench addition.

A Bench orthography dates to 1982; a Bench New Testament followed in 1990. In 2018, Unicode corrected an old chart heading: the CCH series belongs to Bench, not Sebatbeit.
