U+1E802 "ðž ‚" Mende Kikakui Syllable M003 Ku is a glyph used in the Mende Kikakui script, which was developed in the early 20th century by Mohamed Turay and others for writing the Mende language of Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "ku," and it belongs to a syllabary system that was historically employed for correspondence, record keeping, and cultural documentation among the Mende people. Although the script has largely been replaced by the Latin alphabet in modern usage, it remains an important part of Mende linguistic heritage and is encoded in the Unicode standard to ensure digital preservation and accessibility.
