Usage notes

 * The spelling employs a circumflex, rather than a háček. Use of the letter Ĉ is almost wholly restricted to Esperanto (where it denotes the same sound,, that Č does in ); where  occurs, it may be a conscious . This spelling is very rare and, where it occurs, may be regarded as featuring an erroneous inversion of the háček diacritic: ˇ → ˆ.
