U+18E9 "ᣩ" Canadian Syllabics Tlhoo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+18E9 "ᣩ" Canadian Syllabics Tlhoo is a glyph used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system to represent the sound sequence "tlhoo" (voiceless lateral affricate followed by a long "oo" vowel), typically found in languages like Cree or Inuktitut where such syllabic blocks are employed. This character belongs to the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of Unicode, which was encoded to support the diverse indigenous languages of Canada that have traditionally used this script for literacy and cultural preservation. Its design follows the distinctive geometric pattern of the syllabary, where the rotation and orientation of the basic shape indicate the vowel attached to the consonant, with the specific form of "ᣩ" marking the long vowel variant in this case.
