Unicode Version 17.0
ꮘ
U+AB98 "ꮘ" Cherokee Small Letter Qui is a glyph representing the syllable "qui" within the Cherokee syllabary, a writing system developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century. This particular character is part of the Unicode block designated for Cherokee Small Letters, which were added to distinguish uppercase and lowercase forms for modern typographic use, though traditionally the syllabary did not have a case distinction. The small letter "ꮘ" corresponds to the uppercase form "Ꮖ" and is used in written Cherokee to represent the sound /kwi/ or /kʷi/, contributing to the preservation and digital accessibility of the Cherokee language.
