U+1655 "ᙕ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Sho is a letter within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically representing the syllable "sho" in the Carrier language, a Northern Athabaskan language spoken in parts of British Columbia, Canada. This character is part of the writing system developed in the 19th century by missionaries to transcribe Indigenous languages, and it features a distinct angular geometric shape typical of Carrier syllabics, which differ from the more rounded forms of Cree and Ojibwe syllabics.
