U+14F2 "ᓲ" Canadian Syllabics Soo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᓲ
U+14F2 "ᓲ" Canadian Syllabics Soo is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, used primarily in the writing systems of several Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut. It represents the syllable sound "soo" and is composed of a geometric shape typifying the syllabary style, with a small vertical stem attached to a larger rounded or angled body. This script, developed in the 19th century by missionary James Evans, is designed to write Algonquian and Eskimo-Aleut languages, and "ᓲ" continues to be an essential part of preserving and transmitting these languages in modern digital and print contexts.
