U+1E5D9 "ðž—™" Ol Onal Letter Ah Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ðž—™
U+1E5D9 "ðž—™" Ol Onal Letter Ah is a character from the Ol Onal script, a writing system used historically for the Oromo language in the Horn of Africa, and it represents the vowel sound "ah" as in "father." This script was developed in the 20th century, primarily by the scholar Sheikh Bakri Sapalo, and features a unique, cursive-like set of symbols distinct from the more common Latin and Ethiopic scripts used for Oromo today. Despite its cultural and historical importance, Ol Onal has seen limited use, and this letter is part of the Unicode Standard's recent effort to preserve and digitally encode endangered or minority scripts, ensuring their accessibility in modern computing environments.
