ᕴ
U+1574 "ᕴ" Canadian Syllabics Nunavik He is a glyph from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, used specifically in the Nunavik dialect of the Inuktitut language in northern Quebec. It represents a syllable sound akin to "he" and is part of a writing system developed for Indigenous languages in Canada, adapted from the original Cree syllabary by missionary James Evans. This character is distinct from other He forms in the syllabics set, reflecting the unique phonetic and orthographic conventions of the Nunavik region, and it supports the preservation and digital representation of Inuktitut texts.
