U+13DD "Ꮭ" Cherokee Letter Tla Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ꮭ
U+13DD "Ꮭ" Cherokee Letter Tla is a syllabic character from the Cherokee script, representing the sound "tla" as used in the Cherokee language. It belongs to the Cherokee block of Unicode, which encodes the standardized syllabary developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century to write the Cherokee language. This character is uppercase by default, as the Cherokee script traditionally does not use case distinctions, though a lowercase equivalent (U+ABDD) exists in Unicode for specialized typographic purposes. The letter is part of a living writing system still used today in Cherokee communities for both traditional and modern communication, including signage, literature, and digital media.
