Source: Noto Sans Canadian Aboriginal Source: Browser Default

U+1493 "" Canadian Syllabics West-Cree Cwe is a symbol used in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system, specifically representing the sound "cwe" in the Western Cree dialect. This character is part of a larger script developed in the 19th century by missionary James Evans for Indigenous languages in Canada, and it appears in the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of the Unicode standard. While its usage is tied to the phonetics of Cree, it is less common than core syllabic characters due to regional variations in orthography. The glyph itself consists of a triangular shape rotated to point downward, with a small dot attached to its left side, following the typical geometric patterns of the syllabary.
