U+13BB "Ꮋ" Cherokee Letter Mi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ꮋ
U+13BB "Ꮋ" Cherokee Letter Mi is a syllabic character representing the sound "mi" in the Cherokee language, used within the Cherokee syllabary developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century. This letter is part of the Cherokee block in Unicode, which was added to support digital preservation and communication in Cherokee, an Iroquoian language spoken primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina. The character's uppercase form is visually distinct, with a design that reflects the syllabary's unique script, and it is typically paired with a lowercase counterpart, though the Cherokee syllabary traditionally does not use case distinctions in the same way as the Latin alphabet.
