U+14BA "ᒺ" Canadian Syllabics Naskapi Mwaa Unicode Character

U+14BA "ᒺ" Canadian Syllabics Naskapi Mwaa is a glyph from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a specific syllable used in writing the Naskapi language. It encodes the sound "mwaa," where the shape combines a basic consonant form with a right-pointing tail to indicate the vowel. This character is part of a script developed by missionary James Evans in the 19th century, later adapted for various Indigenous languages of Canada. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and supports the documentation and revitalization of Naskapi, an endangered Algonquian language spoken in parts of Quebec and Labrador.
