Source: Browser Default
U+AB9C "ꮜ" Cherokee Small Letter Sa is a glyph used in the modern Cherokee syllabary to represent the syllable "sa" in lowercase form, complementing its uppercase counterpart U+13B8 "Ꮈ" and part of the Cherokee language's standardized writing system. It was introduced in Unicode version 8.0 as a member of the Cherokee Small Letters block to support proper casing in bilingual or typographic contexts. The character appears as a distinct geometric shape, with its curved and angled strokes reflecting the script's historical design adapted by Sequoyah in the early 19th century. In digital text, it enables accurate rendering of Cherokee words like "ꮜꭷꭹ" meaning "six," preserving the language's phonetic precision across modern platforms.
