Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+1592 "ᖒ" Canadian Syllabics Ngoo is part of the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a specific phonetic syllable used primarily in the Inuktitut language. This character denotes the sound "ngoo," with the final "oo" indicating a long vowel, and it is constructed from the base syllabic form for "ng" combined with a small raised dot to mark the vowel quality. While Canadian Syllabics were originally devised by missionary James Evans for Cree and Ojibwe, the Ngoo character has been adapted for Inuktitut writing systems, helping to accurately transcribe the distinct phonology of that language. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures digital preservation and modern textual use across computing platforms.
