The three new Latin script characters that N̓a̓ṇ́ga̓inúx̌v (Robyn) Humchitt and I proposed for the Haíɫzaqvḷa (Heiltsuk) language have now been formally published in Version 16.0 of the Unicode Standard, and are now available for reliable digital text interchange! 🥳🎉🎉

Happy Unicode 16 release day! ⌨️🎉 MAJOR congratulations to Kevin King & N̓a̓ṇ́ga̓inúx̌v (Robyn) Humchitt for their successful proposal to add 3 Haíɫzaqvḷa language characters to the Unicode Standard. Another important step towards digital equity for Indigenous languages!

While I haven't 100% given up on using Twitter yet, I admit it has become increasingly difficult to be on here and see the type of content being pushed to my feed. I'll be cross-posting on bluesky, trying to see if the vibes are better there. Hit me up: bsky.app/profile/bchase…
