U+140E "ᐎ" Canadian Syllabics Wi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+140E "ᐎ" Canadian Syllabics Wi is part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a syllable in the writing systems used for several Indigenous languages of Canada, most notably Inuktitut and Cree. This specific character is a right-pointing V-shaped form oriented upward, which typically denotes the vowel sound "i" combined with the consonant "w" in a Cree syllabics context, where a single character encodes a full syllable. Designed as a distinct typographic element to support the phonetic structure of these languages, "ᐎ" preserves the script's geometric and directional conventions that reflect vowel modifications, such as rotation or orientation changes, distinguishing it from other characters like "ᐅ" for "o" or "ᐊ" for "a".
