U+165D "ᙝ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Tse Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+165D "ᙝ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Tse is a single glyph representing the syllable "tse" in the Carrier language, a member of the Athabaskan language family spoken primarily in the central interior of British Columbia, Canada. It belongs to the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block and was created for use in writing Carrier orthography, where it appears as a distinct character formed by a specific combination of a consonant and a vowel shape. The glyph visually resembles a small uppercase "T" or a reversed hook attached to a baseline, reflecting the systematic design of the script that missionaries and linguists adapted from Cree syllabics in the 19th century. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital representation and preservation of this unique written form.
