U+1E83F "ðž ¿" Mende Kikakui Syllable M017 Da is a specific glyph from the Mende Kikakui script, which was historically used to write the Mende language of Sierra Leone in West Africa. This script was developed in the early 20th century by Kisimi Kamara and is considered a syllabary, meaning each character typically represents a syllable rather than a single consonant or vowel. The character "Da" corresponds to the syllable sound /da/ within the Mende language. It is part of the Unicode Standard's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, included to support the digital preservation and representation of this indigenous African writing system.
