U+13F8 "ᏸ" Cherokee Small Letter Ye Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+13F8 "ᏸ" Cherokee Small Letter Ye is a lowercase representation of a specific syllable in the Cherokee language, corresponding to the sound "ye" and part of the unified Cherokee syllabary block. Historically, the small or lowercase forms like this were introduced in Unicode version 8.0 to support a second casing distinction, as traditional Cherokee writing was originally unicase, but later typographic practices adopted these small letters for use in certain contexts such as bilingual texts or to match Latin casing conventions. This character is encoded in the Unicode block for Cherokee supplements, allowing digital representation and processing of the language with greater typographic flexibility.
