Unicode Version 17.0
ᓏ
U+14CF "ᓏ" Canadian Syllabics Naskapi Nwaa is a glyph used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, specifically representing a voiced bilabial nasal sound combined with the vowel "waa" in the Naskapi dialect. It is part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which encodes characters developed for writing Indigenous languages across Canada, with this particular character derived from the western Cree syllabary tradition. The Naskapi language, spoken primarily in the northern regions of Quebec and Labrador, uses this syllabic to transcribe a distinct phonetic value that may not appear in other related languages like Eastern or Western Cree.
