U+155B "" Canadian Syllabics Fwaa is a glyph in the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a syllable sound used in certain Indigenous languages of Canada, particularly in Inuktitut. This character is formed from a distinctive curved shape that resembles a left-to-right arch with a small tail, and it corresponds closely to the phonetic value "fwaa" or a similar labial-velar fricative in languages that utilize the script. It is part of a broader syllabic writing system historically developed by missionaries and adapted by communities such as the Inuit, where each character conveys a full consonant-vowel combination rather than individual letters.
