Unicode Version 17.0

U+142C "ᐬ" Canadian Syllabics In is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a specific syllable in several Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree and Inuktitut. This character is used to denote a vowel sound with a neutral or inherent "i" quality, following the syllabic writing system where each character stands for a full syllable. Its shape is derived from the basic syllabic form with a rotated or reflected orientation, and it is part of a script designed to facilitate the transcription and preservation of these languages in digital formats. The character is distinct from other similar syllabics due to its specific vocalic and consonantal value, and it is encoded under the standard Unicode encoding to ensure consistent representation across different platforms and fonts.
