A single syllable noun that sounds like [ts]

Another idea is the German letter Z — pronounced something like “tset”. You can make a letter or symbol larger by turning it into a sculpture. Here’s a quick illustration from ChatGPT:

Many languages have a letter to represent something like that sound.

  • Z in German
  • Ц in Russian and other Cyrillic scripts
  • C in some Slavic languages that are written with Latin script
  • Ț in Romanian
  • צ in Hebrew
  • つ and ツ in Japanese (tsu isn’t exactly ts, but the smiley face might make a good image ツ)
