U+18B6 "" Canadian Syllabics Pwoy is a glyph from the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, representing a specific phonetic syllable in certain Indigenous languages of Canada. This character is part of a writing system developed in the 19th century for languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut, where it denotes a sound that can be transcribed as "pwoy" within the syllabic script's structure. Unlike some other syllabics that combine a consonant and a vowel in a single character, U+18B6 is used in a supplementary range to expand the system's capacity for additional syllables found in some dialects. As a rarely used character in modern digital contexts, it highlights the ongoing effort to preserve and encode the linguistic diversity of Canada's Indigenous communities in global text standards.
