U+07F9 "߹" NKo Exclamation Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
߹
U+07F9 "߹" NKo Exclamation Mark is a punctuation symbol used within the NKo script, which was created in 1949 for writing the Manding languages of West Africa, such as Maninka, Bambara, and Dyula. It functions as an exclamation point in NKo text, appearing as a small, raised dot-like mark similar to an inverted apostrophe or a single high quotation mark, and it is placed at the end of a sentence to indicate strong emotion or emphasis, just as an exclamation mark does in Latin script. This character is part of the NKo block in Unicode, which supports the digital representation of this important modern African script.
