Source: Browser Default
U+1662 "ᙢ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Cho is a character from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically representing the Carrier language syllable "cho." This script was developed in the 19th century by missionaries and Indigenous linguists to write various First Nations languages, and "ᙢ" functions as a syllabic unit in the Carrier writing system, where characters denote entire syllables rather than individual letters. The character is composed of a rotated "v" shape with a smaller "c" attached, reflecting the visual structure typical of Carrier syllabics, and it is used in contexts such as language preservation, education, and cultural documentation among the Dakelh (Carrier) people of British Columbia, Canada.
