Unicode Version 17.0
ðž µ
U+1E835 "ðž µ" Mende Kikakui Syllable M196 Sia is a specific glyph from the Mende Kikakui script, which was historically used to write the Mende language primarily spoken in Sierra Leone by the Mende people. This script was developed in the early 20th century as a syllabary, with each character representing a syllable rather than an individual phoneme, and U+1E835 corresponds to the syllable pronounced "sia". Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this unique writing system can be digitally represented and preserved, supporting cultural heritage and linguistic documentation.
