Unicode Version 17.0
ꭶ
U+AB76 "ꭶ" Cherokee Small Letter Ga is a lowercase representation of the Cherokee syllabary character for the sound "ga," and it belongs to the Unicode block for Cherokee Supplement, which was added to support the full casing system of the Cherokee language. This character corresponds to the uppercase Cherokee letter "Ꭶ" (U+13A6) and is used in modern Cherokee writing to represent the same phonetic value in a lowercase form, particularly in contexts where case-sensitive typography is applied. The inclusion of this small letter in Unicode helps facilitate proper text rendering and digital communication for the Cherokee language, which uses a unique syllabary system invented by Sequoyah in the early 19th century.
