U+07CF "ߏ" NKo Letter Oo Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ߏ
U+07CF "ߏ" NKo Letter Oo is a glyph from the NKo script, a writing system designed in 1949 by Solomana Kante for the Manding languages of West Africa. This particular letter represents the vowel sound /o/ and is used in writing languages such as Maninka, Bambara, and Dyula, playing a crucial role in the script's systematic representation of vowel length and tone. The NKo alphabet is notable for being a right-to-left script, and "ߏ" is one of its seven vowel letters, each distinguished by a unique diacritic to indicate different tonal qualities. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital text in NKo can be reliably encoded, preserved, and exchanged across modern computing platforms.
