U+1552 "ᕒ" Canadian Syllabics Medial R Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᕒ
U+1552 "ᕒ" Canadian Syllabics Medial R is a glyph used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system, specifically within the Inuktitut and occasionally other related languages, to represent a medial or word-internal consonant sound. Unlike initial or final forms, this character typically denotes the "r" sound when it appears in the middle of a syllable or word, serving as a diacritic-like modifier that alters the vowel series it accompanies. Its shape is distinctively smaller and positioned differently from standalone syllabic characters, functioning as a phonetic marker rather than a full syllable block.
