U+1595 "ᖕ" Canadian Syllabics Ng Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᖕ
U+1595 "ᖕ" Canadian Syllabics Ng is a letter used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system, which was devised in the 19th century by missionary James Evans primarily for Cree and Ojibwe languages. This specific character represents the velar nasal sound "ng," akin to the final consonant in the English word "sing," and it is part of a set of syllabic signs that appear as superscript or final forms, often used to denote word-final consonants. In the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of Unicode, this character is encoded to support digital representation of Indigenous languages across Canada, preserving their written heritage for modern communication and computing.
