Unicode Version 17.0
𞟱
U+1E7F1 "𞟱" Ethiopic Syllable Gurage Qwee is a specific glyph used in the Ethiopian and Eritrean writing systems for the Gurage language, representing a syllable that combines an unvoiced velar ejective sound with a rounded vowel. This character belongs to the Ethiopic Extended-B block, which was introduced to support the phonetic needs of modern Gurage dialects. Its design follows the traditional Ge'ez script structure, where a base consonant symbol is modified by a diacritic or vowel mark to indicate the "wee" sound. The inclusion of this character in Unicode ensures that digital text in Gurage can be accurately represented, preserving the linguistic heritage of the Gurage people in East Africa.
