Source: Browser Default
U+18C2 "ᣂ" Canadian Syllabics Shwoy is a glyph within the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended block, specifically representing a syllabic sound used in certain Algonquian languages for the phonetic value "shwoy" or similar glide combinations. This character is distinct as an extended form of the traditional Canadian syllabary, which was originally designed for Cree and Ojibwe languages, but additional characters like Shwoy were later added to support a wider range of dialects and phonetic distinctions. Its inclusion in Unicode facilitates digital preservation and accurate written representation of Indigenous languages in Canada.
