U+07CD "ߍ" NKo Letter E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ߍ
U+07CD "ߍ" NKo Letter E is a distinct letter within the NKo script, which was designed in 1949 by Solomana Kante for writing the Manding languages of West Africa, such as Maninka, Bambara, and Dyula. This character represents the vowel sound for the letter E in that script system. Its visual form is a curved horizontal line with a small dot above it, which helps distinguish it from other vowels in the NKo alphabet. The inclusion of U+07CD in Unicode ensures that digital communication and storage of text in the NKo script is standardized, supporting the preservation and modern use of this culturally significant writing system.
