U+155E "ᕞ" Canadian Syllabics The is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, used primarily in the Inuktitut language writing system to represent the syllable "the". Its glyph shape, resembling a vertical line with an upper left hook, is part of a broader script that was adapted from Roman Catholic missionary work in the 19th century. While less common today, the character remains essential for accurate representation of certain syllabic sounds in historical and some contemporary Northern Canadian texts, preserving linguistic heritage in digital and print formats.
