Te Tse (Ҵ ҵ; italics: Ҵ ҵ) is a letter of the Cyrillic script.[1] Its shape comes from a ligature of the Cyrillic letters Te (Т т Т т) and Tse (Ц ц Ц ц).

Te Tse is used in the Abkhaz alphabet, where it represents the alveolar ejective affricate /tsʼ/, ordered between the digraphs Цә and Ҵә.

In English, Te Tse is commonly romanized as ⟨c̄⟩.[2]
