U+161E "ᘞ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Jje Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+161E "ᘞ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Jje is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically used in the Carrier language (Dakelh) to represent a consonant sound that is similar to the English "j" or "dz" but with a palatal or dental quality depending on the dialect. This character is part of a writing system developed by missionaries in the 19th century to transcribe various Indigenous languages of Canada, and it belongs to a set of syllables that evolved from the original Cree syllabary. In Carrier orthography, "ᘞ" is one of several symbols that capture distinct sounds of the language, aiding in the preservation and written communication of this Indigenous Athabaskan language spoken primarily in British Columbia.
