U+166C "ᙬ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ttsa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+166C "ᙬ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ttsa is a symbol from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically part of the writing system for the Carrier language, also known as Dakelh, spoken by the Carrier people in central British Columbia, Canada. This character represents a syllable comprising a consonant sound, likely a voiceless alveolar affricate similar to "ts," combined with a vowel, typically "a," and is used in written Carrier to phonetically represent the language's sounds. It is one of several specialized syllabic characters designed to accurately capture Carrier linguistics, distinct from other Canadian Indigenous scripts like Cree or Ojibwe, and highlights the Unicode Consortium's effort to support endangered and minority languages in digital text.
