Unicode Version 17.0

U+14A8 "ᒨ" Canadian Syllabics Moo is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing the syllable "moo" in Inuktitut, Cree, and other indigenous languages of Canada. This specific grapheme is formed by a straight vertical line that curves left at the top, combined with a right-facing triangular tail at the bottom, and denotes the sound associated with the consonant "m" followed by the long vowel "oo". It is part of a writing system developed in the 19th century by missionary James Evans for transcribing syllabic sounds, and it remains in contemporary digital use for typing and preserving these languages.
