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 Unicode block U+13A0 to U+13FF contains all the uppercase letters plus six lowercase letters. The Cherokee Supplement Unicode block U+AB70 to U+ABBF contains the rest of the lowercase letters [WikiVisually, Cherokee Syllabary (uppercase and lowercase glyph tables)].
