Text symbol

What ꮞ means

It represents one spoken syllable in Cherokee. A syllable is a unit of speech that can make up part of a word. Cherokee writing uses signs for syllables. Sequoyah introduced this writing system in 1821; the Cherokee Nation adopted it in 1825. The Cherokee Phoenix, a newspaper, printed Cherokee beside English in 1828.

ꮞ is the lowercase form paired with Ꮞ; both write the same syllable, while their glyphs show different case. Cherokee writing may have influenced the later Cree syllabics, a separate writing system with its own design.
