Syllabary
In the linguistic study of written languages, a syllabary is a set of written symbols that represent the syllables or (more frequently) moras which make up words. A symbol in a syllabary, called a syllabogram, typically represents an (optional) consonant sound (simple onset) followed by a vowel sound (nucleus)—that is, a CV or V syllable—but other phonographic mappings, such as CVC, CV- tone, and C (normally nasals at the end of syllables), are also found in syllabaries.

syllabary
A syllabary is a set of written characters or symbols that represent the syllables, or units of sound, that make up words in a specific language. It is a form of writing system where each symbol corresponds to a syllable rather than a single letter or a word. An example of a syllabary is the Japanese Katakana.
Webster Dictionary
