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 block (U+13A0 to U+13FF) contains all the uppercase letters plus six lowercase letters. The Cherokee Supplement block (U+AB70 to U+ABBF), added in version 8.0, contains the rest of the lowercase letters. For backwards compatibility, the Unicode case folding algorithm—which usually converts a string to lowercase characters—maps Cherokee characters to uppercase.{{cite web |title=The Unicode Standard Version 13.0 – Core Specification |url=https://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode13.0.0/ch03.pdf#page=84 |publisher=The Unicode Consortium |access-date=20 May 2021}}
