U+13CF "Ꮟ" Cherokee Letter Si Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ꮟ
U+13CF "Ꮟ" Cherokee Letter Si is a syllabic character from the Cherokee syllabary, representing the sound "si" as in the English word "see." Developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century to write the Cherokee language, this character is one of 85 symbols in the original syllabary, each representing a distinct syllable. The Cherokee script is notable as one of the few Indigenous writing systems in the Americas to be independently created, and "Ꮟ" remains in use today for writing the Cherokee language, which is still spoken by thousands of people, primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina.
