U+14A7 "ᒧ" Canadian Syllabics Mo Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+14A7 "ᒧ" Canadian Syllabics Mo is part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, used to represent the syllable "mo" in several Indigenous languages of Canada, including Cree, Inuktitut, and Ojibwe. This character belongs to the western Cree-style orthography, where its distinct shape—a tall vertical line with a leftward hook and a small dash—indicates the specific vowel sound combined with the consonant "m." As a component of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabary, it was designed in the 19th century by missionary James Evans to facilitate written communication in these languages, and it remains an essential part of preserving and writing Indigenous languages today.
