U+146C "ᑬ" Canadian Syllabics Kaai is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing the syllable "kaai" in the Inuktitut writing system used for various Indigenous languages of Canada. This specific character is composed of a triangular form that indicates a consonant 'k' combined with a final diacritic or rotation that marks the vowel "aai," a long or diphthongized vowel sound distinct from the simpler "ka."
