Unicode Version 17.0
Ꭱ
U+13A1 "Ꭱ" Cherokee Letter E is a single glyph representing a distinct sound in the Cherokee syllabary, specifically the vowel sound "e" as in the English word "echo." This character is part of the Cherokee block within Unicode, which was encoded to preserve and digitally support the Cherokee language, an endangered Iroquoian language spoken primarily in parts of Oklahoma and North Carolina. The syllabary, invented by Sequoyah in the early 19th century, uses unique symbols for each syllable, and U+13A1 corresponds to the sixth letter in that writing system, typically appearing in printed and digital Cherokee texts to represent words, names, and cultural expressions.
