Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended Unicode Block
The Unicode Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended block, also known as the "Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Extended" or "UCAS Extended," is a character block within the Unicode standard that was introduced to accommodate additional characters used in the writing systems of Indigenous languages of Canada. These scripts are primarily associated with various Indigenous peoples, such as the Inuit and First Nations, and are used for writing languages like Inuktitut, Cree, Ojibwe, and others. The UCAS Extended block extends the original Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block by including additional characters and diacritics that are necessary for accurately representing the sounds and syllables of these Indigenous languages. This block's inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital platforms and fonts can properly support the writing systems and linguistic diversity of Canada's Indigenous communities, helping to preserve and promote their cultural heritage and languages.
