U+15A1 "ᖡ" Canadian Syllabics Lhii Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+15A1 "ᖡ" Canadian Syllabics Lhii is a glyph from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically representing the syllable "lhii" in certain Indigenous languages, such as those within the Algonquian language family. It is formed by combining the series for "l" with the diphthong "ii" sound, and its distinct shape reflects the script's design to accommodate phonetic nuances not found in Latin alphabets. This character is part of a writing system developed in the 19th century for Indigenous languages like Cree, Inuktitut, and Ojibwe, and it remains in use today for documentation, education, and cultural preservation.
