U+07D7 "ߗ" NKo Letter Cha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ߗ
U+07D7 "ߗ" NKo Letter Cha is a glyph from 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 specific character represents the voiceless palatal affricate sound /t͡ʃ/, similar to the "ch" in the English word "church." It is part of a larger alphabetic system written from right to left, reflecting the region's cultural and linguistic heritage, and is encoded in the Unicode Standard to facilitate digital representation and preservation of the NKo script.
