U+10D72 "𐵲" Garay Small Letter Ma Unicode Character

U+10D72 "𐵲" Garay Small Letter Ma is a character from the Garay script, a writing system invented in the 1960s by Assane Faye for the Wolof language primarily spoken in Senegal and The Gambia. This specific character represents the syllabic consonant for the sound "ma" and is part of the script’s set of lowercase letters, designed to be used in phonetic contexts alongside its uppercase counterpart. The Garay script was created to provide an indigenous orthographic alternative for writing Wolof, distinct from the Latin and Arabic alphabets traditionally used for the language.
