This script, also known as Bassa Vah, was developed in the early 20th century by Dr. Thomas Narvin Lewis to provide a native writing system for the Bassa people, and the letter Ong is one of over 30 characters in this syllabic alphabet. The character was added to Unicode in version 14.0 (2021) under the block "Ol Onal," ensuring its digital preservation for modern use.
