“ᣂ” U+18C2: Canadian Syllabics Shwoy

ℹ️ About

The Canadian Syllabics Shwoy (U+18C2) is a distinct phonetic glyph belonging to the Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended block. Introduced in Unicode 5.2, it is primarily used in indigenous Canadian languages (such as Cree or Ojibwe dialects) to represent specific labialized “sh” sounds. As an “Other Letter” category character, it maintains neutral bidirectional properties and is essential for modern digital literacy in Aboriginal communities.
