U+13F2 "Ᏺ" Cherokee Letter Yo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ᏺ
U+13F2 "Ᏺ" Cherokee Letter Yo is a syllabic character from the Cherokee syllabary, invented by Sequoyah in the early 19th century to write the Cherokee language, and it represents the phonetic sound "yo." This character is part of the Cherokee block within Unicode, encoded to support digital preservation and communication in Cherokee, a language that remains vital to Cherokee communities today. The glyph itself visually resembles a stylized form distinct from the Latin alphabet, with uppercase and lowercase distinctions absent in the original syllabary but sometimes rendered in modern typefaces.
