Unicode Version 17.0
ᑵ
U+1475 "ᑵ" Canadian Syllabics West-Cree Kwe is a syllabic character used in the writing system for Western Cree, an Algonquian language spoken in parts of Canada. It represents the syllable "kwe" and is part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, a script developed in the 19th century by missionary James Evans to transcribe Indigenous languages. The character's distinctive form, featuring a pointed top and a rounded bottom, reflects the geometric shapes typical of Canadian syllabics, and its usage helps preserve and support the written tradition of the Cree language in modern digital contexts such as document processing and online communication.
