Unicode Version 17.0
ðž –
U+1E816 "ðž –" Mende Kikakui Syllable M009 Mun is part of the Mende Kikakui script, which was historically used in the early 20th century to write the Mende language of Sierra Leone. This specific syllable represents the sound "mun" and belongs to a syllabary invented by Mohamed Turay, also known as Kisimi Kamara, as a phonetic writing system for Mende. While the script saw use for several decades, it has largely been replaced by the Latin alphabet in modern times, making this character a valuable artifact for linguistic and historical study of West African writing traditions.
