Ꭲ
U+13A2 "Ꭲ" Cherokee Letter I is a distinct symbol from the Cherokee syllabary, a writing system invented by Sequoyah in the early 19th century to represent the Cherokee language. This specific character is used to denote the phonetic sound of the long vowel "i," similar to the "ee" in the English word "see," and it functions as a standalone letter within the set of eighty-five characters that form the syllables of the language. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that Cherokee text can be accurately represented and preserved in digital formats, supporting the ongoing revitalization and use of the Cherokee language in modern communication.
