It's a medieval letter used mostly in the British Isles (and thus used mostly by monks, cause of illiteracy and Viking invaders (or should I say "VikinꝽ invaders"?))
But can it be used to make a new emoticon?
==================================================
- I'll start by offering this one: < Ᵹ>
< Ᵹ> - a scholarly penguin with a monocle

like a hard g, but with your jaw drawn back instead of jutted out, and with your sinuses partly blocked.
like in the name "Ᵹus" or playing a game of "Riwᵹ"
