U+14D0 "ᓐ" Canadian Syllabics N Unicode Character

U+14D0 "ᓐ" Canadian Syllabics N is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block that represents the sound /n/ in several Indigenous languages of Canada. It is part of the Western Cree syllabary, where it often functions as a final consonant, appearing without an inherent vowel at the end of a syllable. In the standard orthography of languages like Plains Cree and Woods Cree, this character is written as a single, left-leaning vertical stroke that distinguishes it from other syllabic finals. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that these languages can be accurately represented in digital text, supporting efforts to preserve and revitalize Indigenous linguistic heritage.
