U+14B7 "ᒷ" Canadian Syllabics West-Cree Mwa is a character in the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which was designed to represent the syllable "mwa" in the western dialects of the Cree language. It belongs to a writing system created in the 19th century by missionary James Evans for Indigenous languages in Canada, and its distinctive curved and angular shape is part of a larger set of syllabic symbols that vary with vowel sounds. This character is used in written West-Cree to transcribe the phonetic sound of "mwa" and helps preserve the linguistic heritage of the Cree people.
