U+1415 "ᐕ" Canadian Syllabics West-Cree Woo is a glyph used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system, specifically representing the syllable “woo” in the Western Cree language. This character is part of a script developed by missionary James Evans in the 19th century to facilitate literacy among Indigenous communities in Canada, and it is encoded in Unicode to preserve and support digital use of this culturally significant writing system. The symbol’s distinct rotation reflects the syllabic structure common to many Algonquian languages, where orientation and shape indicate different vowel sounds.
