Unicode Version 17.0
U+157A "ᕺ" Canadian Syllabics Nunavik Haa is a specific character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a distinct sound in the Nunavik dialect of the Inuktitut language, primarily spoken in northern Quebec, Canada. Unlike standard Canadian Syllabics used for other Inuktitut dialects, this character denotes the "haa" syllable, featuring a unique triangular or angular shape with a central dot and a horizontal line, designed to capture a phonetic nuance in the Nunavik writing system. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text can accurately preserve and transmit this culturally significant linguistic element, supporting written communication and the preservation of indigenous language heritage in modern technology.
