U+16AD7 "ð–«—" Bassa Vah Letter Dhii is a specific glyph within the Bassa Vah script, an alphasyllabary historically used to write the Bassa language, a Kru language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This letter represents the sound "dhii" and is part of a writing system that was developed in the early 20th century but later fell out of common use, only to be revived and encoded in Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane in 2014. The character is classified as a consonant in the Bassa Vah block, and its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitally represent this endangered script, enabling modern text processing and digital communication for the Bassa language community.
