When Catholic missionaries first arrived in Canada, they had a lot of trouble trying to figure out how to give the Bible to the aborigines. Not only were the phonetics of many First Nations languages quite beyond the scope of the Latin alphabet, these people had no written system of their own.

The missionaries therefore developed a general syllabary for use among the aborigines. Although it might seem strange to use a syllabary instead of an alphabet, in actual fact most writing traditions develop as syllabaries instead of alphabets. Some of the major writing systems of the world have been syllabaries – cuneiform, Japanese hiragana, Ethiopic, and so forth. The missionaries probably chose to use a syllabary because it is conceptually simpler, and therefore a better introduction to the principle of writing for peoples who had no previous exposure to such a practice.

The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics system consists of a variety of geometric shapes. Each shape is associated with a consonant, and its spatial orientation is associated with a vowel. (This is economical in terms of the number of symbols which must be remembered, but it makes dyslexia especially disabling, a circumstance the missionaries would not have been aware of.)

Today, the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are used as the primary means of codifying many First Nations languages. A Unicode chart helps maintain the use of these languages into the 21st Century, and supports computer use and a web presence for these nations. To see the Unicode chart for the set of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics from which missionaries selected symbols to represent their audience's language, go to www.unicode.org and follow the links.

The characters in this code block are a unification of various local syllabaries of Canada into a single repertoire based on character appearance. The syllabics were originally invented in the late 1830s by James Evans for Algonquian languages, and was than adopted and altered by various communities and linguistic groups. The primary used community for this script consists of several aboriginal groups throughout Canada, including Algonquian, Inuktitut and Athapascan language families. The script is also used by government agencies and in business, education and media.

The repertoire is organized primarily on structural principles found in the 1994 report of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Encoding Committee (CASEC), and is essentially a glyphic encoding. The canonical structure of each character series consists of a consonant shape with five variants. Typically the shape points down when the consonant is combined with the vowel /e/, up when combined with the vowel /i/, right when combined with the vowel /o/ and left when combined with the vowel /a/. It is reduced and superscripted when in syllable-final position, not followed by a vowel. For example :
ᐯ  PE  
ᐱ  PI  
ᐳ  PO  
ᐸ  PA  
ᑉ P  

The arrangement of signs follows the Algonquian ordering (down, up, right, left) as above. Sorted within each series are the variant forms of each character series. Algonquian variants appear first, then Inuktitut then Athapascan. This arrangement is convenient and consistent with the historical diffusion of Syllabics writing; it does not imply any hierarchy.

Vowel length and labialization modify the character series through the addition of various marks, (e.g. U+143E  ᐾ  Canadian syllabics pwii). Such modified characters are considered unique syllables. They are not decomposed into base characters and one or more diacritics. Some language families have different conventions for placement of the modifying mark. For the sake of consistency and simplicity, and to support multiple North American languages in the same document, each of the variants is assigned a unique code value.
