From: r12a Syllable-final consonants (ie. not followed by a vowel), are represented by a set of superscript symbols. A small dot above a symbol indicates a lengthened vowel, but there are precomposed code points for all combinations of base plus diacritics. Inuktitut uses no combining marks. A small dot above a symbol indicates a lengthened vowel, but there are precomposed code points for all combinations of base plus diacritics. These are all atomic characters. Inuktitut uses no combining marks. Numbers are written using ASCII digits. The following table summarises the main syllable to character assigments. The left-hand column shows the basic CV shapes only; vowel length and onset labialisation are shown using letters with the same basic shape but including dots (see following sections). The middle column shows some alphabetic characters. The right-hand column shows (non-syllabic) consonant codas. This section lists all the basic CV characters used for Inuktitut and, unlike the summary chart above, it includes all letters with dots, too. These superscript characters are used to indicate syllable codas. ᖯ [U+15AF CANADIAN SYLLABICS AIVILIK B] is used to represent sounds from Inuvialuktun dialects or borrowed words from other languages. It represents a b sound in bl or bj. This sound may also be written using ᑉ [U+1449 CANADIAN SYLLABICS P],i eg. ᐅᑉᓛᖅ In western dialects, the s- series produces this sound, so ᓵ [U+14F5 CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAA] can be used.i Glottal stop. As mentioned earlier, several dialects have a glottal stop, ʔ, that replaces an original phoneme. Many writers simply use the original phoneme: others use the apostrophe in both Latin and syllabics,m eg. compare these versions of the word 'in a tent': Several dialects have a glottal stop, ʔ, that replaces an original phoneme.

-He also says that they typically use an alternate glyph shape rather than the ng-ligature, which looks like an 8.Basic features
