U+16E61 "𖹡" Medefaidrin Small Letter S Unicode Character

U+16E61 "𖹡" Medefaidrin Small Letter S is a glyph from the Medefaidrin script, an artificial alphabet created in the early 1930s by the founders of the Obɛri Ɔkaimɛ religious movement in southeastern Nigeria to write the Medefaidrin language. This specific character represents the voiceless alveolar fricative sound /s/ and is used as the lowercase form of its uppercase counterpart U+16E41. The Medefaidrin script was devised for liturgical and limited community use, and it was added to the Unicode Standard in version 7.0 in 2014 as part of a block dedicated to preserving this unique writing system.
