Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1508 "ᔈ" Canadian Syllabics Blackfoot S is a glyph from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically representing the syllable "s" in the Blackfoot language. This script was developed in the 19th century to write Indigenous languages across Canada, and while the Blackfoot writing system traditionally uses a different and unique set of syllabics distinct from the Cree-based standard, U+1508 reflects the adaptation of the general Canadian Syllabics framework. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and support digital use of the Blackfoot language, though actual usage may vary among speakers and communities.
