Cherokee (Unicode block)


Cherokee is a Unicode block containing the syllabic characters for writing the Cherokee language.
When Cherokee was first added to Unicode in version 3.0 it was treated as a unicameral alphabet, but in version 8.0 it was redefined as a bicameral script. The Cherokee block contains all the uppercase letters plus six lowercase letters. The Cherokee Supplement block contains the rest of the lowercase letters.
