What does ቔ mean?
It spells a syllable in words written with the Ethiopic script.
Ethiopic writing began as a consonant-only way to write Geʾez and later developed into an abugida: a writing system where consonant signs also show vowels. The oldest known Ethiopic-script inscriptions date to the 8th century BC.
Geʾez later became mainly a language of worship, while the script was adapted for Amharic, Tigrinya, Tigre, and other languages. This syllable form is listed for Amharic, Awngi, and Tigrinya, so its reading depends on the language. Early Ethiopic writing is linked with Ancient South Arabian writing, but the route into local forms remains debated.
It functions as Ethiopic writing; the surrounding word and language supply its reading.
