Unicode Version 17.0
ᙃ
U+1643 "ᙃ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Zee is a glyph used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system to represent the sound "zee," which corresponds closely to the English letter Z, in the Carrier language (Dakelh) of British Columbia. This script, known as Carrier syllabics or Dene syllabics, was developed by the Catholic missionary Father Adrien-Gabriel Morice in the late 19th century, adapting the Cree syllabary to suit Carrier phonetics, and the character functions as one of its consonant-final symbols, typically appearing within the complex orthography of the language.
