U+1416 "ᐖ" Canadian Syllabics Naskapi Woo is a distinct glyph used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system, specifically representing the Naskapi language, where it encodes the phonetic value "woo" or a similar syllabic sound. It forms part of the unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which was developed to support various Indigenous languages across Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut, though its use is particular to the Naskapi dialect. This character appears as a rotated V shape with a small dot positioned inside its apex, and it is employed in written Naskapi to accurately represent the unique phonological features of that language.
