U+15BD "ᖽ" Canadian Syllabics Blackfoot Ki Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+15BD "ᖽ" Canadian Syllabics Blackfoot Ki is a glyph from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically used in the Blackfoot language writing system to represent the syllable "ki." This script, developed by missionaries in the 19th century, employs a unique set of characters for the Algonquian language, and "ᖽ" follows the syllabic pattern where a base form denotes a consonant-vowel combination, with its shape distinct from other Blackfoot syllabics like "ke" or "ko." In digital text, it requires a font supporting Canadian Syllabics to display correctly, and its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper representation and preservation of Blackfoot linguistic heritage across modern platforms.
