Unicode Version 17.0

𞟮

U+1E7EE "𞟮" Ethiopic Syllable Gurage Mwee is a typographic symbol belonging to the Ethiopic Extended-B block, used for writing the Gurage languages of Ethiopia. It represents a specific syllable combining the consonant sound "Mw" with the vowel "ee" as part of the modern orthography designed for Gurage linguistic representation. This character was added to the Unicode Standard in 2021 with the release of version 14.0, reflecting ongoing efforts to encode lesser-known scripts and preserve linguistic diversity. Its design shares stylistic roots with traditional Ethiopic syllabary characters, featuring the distinctive angular and geometric shapes typical of the script. The inclusion of this syllable aids in accurately transcribing Gurage speech sounds that are not present in classical Ge'ez or other Ethiopic languages.
