U+1E822 "ðž ¢" Mende Kikakui Syllable M013 I is a symbol from the Mende Kikakui script, which was developed in the early 20th century for writing the Mende language spoken in Sierra Leone, West Africa. This specific character represents a syllabic unit (M013) pronounced as "i," and it belongs to a larger set of over 190 distinct syllabograms used in the script, which was invented by the Mende scholar Kisimi Kamara around 1921.
