"Ć" (Ћ) is used in several Slavic languages, such as Serbian, Croatian, and Bosnian. It represents a voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative sound, which is similar to the "ch" sound in English, as in "church." It's a soft, hissing sound made by placing the front part of the tongue close to the hard palate. "Č" (Ч) is also used in several Slavic languages and represents a voiceless postalveolar affricate sound. This sound is similar to the "ch" sound in English, as in "chocolate." It's a combination of a "t" and "sh" sound, produced by stopping the airflow briefly with the tongue against the alveolar ridge before releasing it into a "sh" sound. The main difference between "ć" and "č" is in their pronunciation and the position of the tongue when making these sounds. "ć" is an alveolo-palatal sound, while "č" is a postalveolar sound.

Depends, usually each of these two letters have their own place in different verbs, and it would be unusual to use them in verbs where they don't belong. Main difference is with your pronunciation of them and placing your tongue on different places while pronauncing it.
