U+1428 "ᐨ" Canadian Syllabics Final Short Horizontal Stroke is a glyph used within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, primarily associated with the Inuktitut and Cree languages. It functions as a diacritic-like symbol that typically appears at the end of a syllable, indicating a short, horizontal stroke that modifies or completes the phonetic value of the preceding syllable core.
