U+07E4 "ߤ" NKo Letter Ha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ߤ
U+07E4 "ߤ" NKo Letter Ha is a character from the NKo alphabet, which was created in 1949 by Solomana Kanté for writing the Manding languages of West Africa, such as Maninka and Bambara. This specific letter represents the voiceless glottal fricative sound /h/, akin to the English "h" in "hat". Within the NKo script, "Ha" plays a key role in the language's phonetic system, particularly for transcribing loanwords or indigenous terms that require this sound, and it follows the script's right-to-left writing direction, which is a distinctive feature of the NKo writing system.
