U+16E4F "𖹏" Medefaidrin Capital Letter E is a character from the Medefaidrin script, an alphabet created in the early 20th century for writing the Medefaidrin (or Oberi Okaime) language, used by a Christian community in southeastern Nigeria. This character represents the capital form of the vowel sound 'E' in the Medefaidrin writing system, which was divinely revealed, according to tradition, to the community's founders in the 1930s. The Medefaidrin script was added to the Unicode Standard in 2018 as part of version 11.0, helping to preserve and digitally represent this unique West African indigenous alphabet.
