U+11AB4 "𑪴" Canadian Syllabics Nattilik Ha Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𑪴

U+11AB4 "𑪴" Canadian Syllabics Nattilik Ha is a relatively recent addition to the Unicode Standard, specifically part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended-C block, which was introduced in version 14.0 released in 2021. This character represents a phonetic syllable used in the Nattilik dialect of Inuktitut, one of the indigenous languages of Canada, particularly within the Kitikmeot region of Nunavut. Its inclusion helps to preserve and digitally represent a distinct sound that was previously missing from the standard Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics repertoire, ensuring that the language can be accurately written and shared in modern digital contexts. The glyph itself consists of a specific combination of marks that denote the consonant "h" and the vowel "a", following the structural logic of the syllabary system.
