U+159A "" Canadian Syllabics Sayisi Sha is a letter from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, specifically representing the consonant sound "sha" in the Sayisi dialect of the Dene language, which is spoken by the Sayisi Dene First Nation in northern Manitoba, Canada. Its design derives from the script's geometric and rotational structure, where a right-facing triangular form with a distinct dot or line placement indicates the specific syllable and vowel quality. This character is part of a broader writing system developed in the 19th century for Indigenous languages, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the linguistic heritage of the Dene people.
