#UBC designed a #NewFont that allows characters from #Musqueam #Indigenous #language to be typed on computers & match formal institutional #font used on UBC documents/signs.
Most characters in Musqueam language's - #hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ - pronounced HUN-kuh-mee-num - aren't available on English language keyboard.
The new font is also capable of #typesetting the language of the #Syilx, a #FirstNation located in the same area as UBC's #Okanagan campus
