U+16AD2 "ð–«’" Bassa Vah Letter Se Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð–«’
U+16AD2 "ð–«’" Bassa Vah Letter Se is a specific glyph from the Bassa Vah script, which was historically used to write the Bassa language, a Kru language spoken primarily in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This script, invented in the early 20th century by Dr. Thomas Narvin Lewis, features a unique syllabic structure, and the letter Se represents a particular sound within that system. The inclusion of this character in Unicode helps preserve and digitize a writing system that was historically marginalized, allowing for modern digital communication, text processing, and cultural documentation for the Bassa-speaking community.
