Source: Browser Default
U+14F8 "ᓸ" Canadian Syllabics Swi is part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a specific syllable in the writing systems used for several Indigenous languages of Canada, most notably Cree and Ojibwe. This character corresponds to the sound "swi" and is formed through the combination of a consonant-like shape with a rotated or mirrored diacritic mark that modifies the vowel component, following the syllabic script's logic where rotation or orientation of a base character indicates a different vowel. It is used in historical and contemporary texts, contributing to the standardized Unicode encoding that supports digital preservation and communication for these languages.
