U+159D "ᖝ" Canadian Syllabics Woods-Cree Tho Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+159D "ᖝ" Canadian Syllabics Woods-Cree Tho is a symbol from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a specific syllabic sound used in the Woods Cree dialect of the Cree language. This character corresponds to the consonant-vowel combination "tho," which employs the Latin-derived "th" digraph to indicate the voiceless dental fricative sound common in Cree phonology. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard supports the digital representation and preservation of Indigenous writing systems, enabling accurate text processing, typography, and communication for Woods Cree speakers. The character is distinct from other Cree syllabics, as it uses a specific rotated or modified form to encode the rounded vowel "o" alongside the initial consonant, reflecting the systematic structure of the syllabary.
