U+18B7 "ᢷ" Canadian Syllabics Tay Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18B7 "ᢷ" Canadian Syllabics Tay is a specific glyph used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, representing the syllable sound "tay." This character is part of the unified writing system historically developed for languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut, where each symbol denotes a full consonant-vowel combination rather than a single phoneme. The "Tay" form, like other syllables in this block, is oriented with a distinct geometric shape that reflects the script's logical structure, where rotation or modification of a base character indicates a different vowel sound. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital text in these Indigenous languages can be accurately represented, preserved, and exchanged across modern computing systems.
