U+162F "ᘯ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Lho is a glyph within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a specific syllable in the Carrier language, also known as Dakelh, spoken by the Carrier people in central British Columbia, Canada. This character is composed of a rotated or modified form of the basic syllabic shapes used in the writing system, and it denotes the sound "lho," which is a voiceless lateral fricative consonant followed by a vowel.
