U+164E "" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Su is a glyph representing a specific syllable in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system, particularly used for the Carrier language (Dakelh) spoken in parts of British Columbia, Canada. This character corresponds to the sound "su" and is part of a larger script invented in the 19th century to transcribe various Indigenous languages of Canada. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which was added to allow digital representation and preservation of these languages. The character has a distinctive visual shape, typically formed by a rotated or mirrored letter-like form, that distinguishes it from other syllabic characters in the system, supporting efforts to maintain and revitalize Carrier literacy in modern digital contexts.
