U+10D6E "" Garay Hyphen Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10D6E "" Garay Hyphen is a punctuation mark from the Garay script, a writing system created in the 20th century by Assane Faye for the Wolof language of Senegal and The Gambia. This hyphen serves a similar function to the standard hyphen in Latin scripts, used to join words or indicate word breaks, but it is designed specifically to integrate with the visual style and line spacing of the Garay alphabet. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper representation and digital use of this script, which is part of a broader effort to preserve and support minority languages and their unique typographic traditions in modern computing environments.
