U+18CD "ᣍ" Canadian Syllabics Ojibway Nwoo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18CD "ᣍ" Canadian Syllabics Ojibway Nwoo is a specific glyph within the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing the sound "nwoo" in the Ojibway language. This character is part of a writing system developed in the 19th century by missionary James Evans for Indigenous languages, where each syllable unit combines a consonant and a vowel. In the context of the Western Ojibway dialect's orthography, the character appears as a rotated or variant form of the standard NI syllable to denote the distinct "nwoo" sound, which is not present in all Cree or other related syllabary systems. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures digital preservation and accurate text representation for Ojibway speakers, scholars, and language revitalization efforts.
