U+ABAF "ꮯ" Cherokee Small Letter Tli is a lowercase letter used in the modern orthography of the Cherokee language, representing the syllable sound "tli" as spoken in Cherokee speech. This character belongs to the Cherokee block of the Unicode standard, which was added to support the syllabary invented by Sequoyah in the early 19th century, though the lowercase forms like this one were introduced later for bilingual typography. While not used in traditional Cherokee writing, which historically employed only uppercase style letters, the small letter Tli aids in contemporary digital text processing, such as distinguishing mixed case for proper nouns or sentence beginnings.
