U+1664 "ᙤ" Canadian Syllabics Carrier Chee is a letter in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script used to write the Carrier language, also known as Dakelh, spoken primarily in central British Columbia, Canada. This character represents the syllabic sound "chee" and is part of the larger syllabary developed in the 19th century by missionaries, adapted for various Indigenous languages. The glyph combines a leftward leaning wedge with a rightward curling descender, distinguishing it from other related syllabic characters. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that the Carrier community and linguists can digitally preserve and transmit this unique writing system.
