U+10491 "𐒑" Osmanya Letter Miin is a letter from the Osmanya script, an alphabet created in the early 20th century by Osman Yusuf Kenadid for writing the Somali language. This particular character represents the sound /m/ and is a consonant within the script, which was designed to provide a native writing system for Somali, replacing earlier use of Arabic and Latin scripts. The Osmanya script gained official status in Somalia in the 1970s but was later supplanted by the Latin alphabet, though it remains in occasional use for cultural and historical purposes.
