U+15AB "ᖫ" Canadian Syllabics Th-Cree Thoo is a character in the unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically representing a syllable used in the Cree language for the sound "thoo." It is part of the Western Cree syllabary, where each character encodes a consonant-vowel combination, with the shape of this particular glyph indicating the consonant "th" and the vowel "oo."
