The voiceless postalveolar affricate is a quite common sound cross-linguistically. It often arises from t before a high vowel or j. Its voiced equivalent is dʒ. It can also be ejective, tʃʼ.
In X-SAMPA it can be represented explicitly as [t_S], though for convenience it can also be represented as [tS]. The disjunctor hyphen (thus [t-S]) can be used when it is important to emphasize the separateness of the [t] and the [S].
Americanistic, Uralistic etc. linguistic traditions use the symbol č for this sound.
Note that in shallow transcription it is common to use /tʃ/ as a catch-all symbol for a number of different affricates, such as the voiceless retroflex affricate [tʂ], voiceless palato-alveolar affricate [tɕ], or even the voiceless palatal affricate [cç], if they do not contrast in the language in question with an actual postalveolar.
Postalveolar affricates in natlangs

Note that this is one of the cases where the sound is actually not [tʃ].
| Plain | ch | tōchtli /toːtʃtɬi/ |
| Plain | ch | coche /kotʃe/ |
| Plain | ç | çiçek /tʃitʃec/ |
Postalveolar affricates in conlangs
