U+15E9 "ᗩ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Po Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ᗩ
U+15E9 "ᗩ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Po is a component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically representing the sound "po" in the Carrier language, an Athabaskan language spoken by the Dakelh people in central British Columbia, Canada. It is used in the Carrier writing system, which was adapted from the standardized Canadian Syllabics script developed by missionary James Evans in the 19th century, though Carrier syllabics have distinct glyphs for its unique consonant vowel combinations. This character, along with others in the syllabary, serves as a vital tool for preserving and promoting Indigenous language literacy and cultural heritage in modern digital communications.
