The Cherokee script was designed in 1821 by Segwoya. The alphabet is essentially syllabic, only 6 characters (a e i o s u) correspond to Roman letters: the font encodes these to the corresponding roman letter. The remaining 79 characters have been arbitrarily encoded in the range 38-122; the cherokee package provides commands that map each such syllable to the appropriate character; for example, Segwoya himself would be represented \Cse\Cgwo\Cya .

cherokee – A font for the Cherokee script
The Cherokee script was designed in 1821 by Segwoya.
The alphabet is essentially syllabic, only 6 characters (a e i o s u)
correspond to Roman letters: the font encodes these to the
corresponding roman letter. The remaining 79 characters have been
arbitrarily encoded in the range 38–122; the cherokee package
provides commands that map each such syllable to the appropriate
character; for example, Segwoya himself would be represented
\Cse\Cgwo\Cya.
The font is distributed as Metafont source; it works very poorly
in modern environments, and could do with expert attention
(if you are interested, please contact the CTAN team for details).
