Tresillo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tresillo (capital: Ꜫ, small: ꜫ) (Spanish for "little three") is a letter of the Latin alphabet, based on the numeral 3. It was invented by Jesuit missionaries in the 16th century in order to represent the uvular ejective consonant (IPA: [qʼ]) found in Mayan languages.
The Tresillo is encoded in Unicode at the code points U+A72A and U+A72B, respectively.
