𞡨
U+1E868 "𞡨" Mende Kikakui Syllable M176 Hi is a single character from the Mende Kikakui script, which was historically used to write the Mende language of Sierra Leone in West Africa. This script is an alphasyllabary invented in the early 20th century by Mohamed Turay and later standardized for written communication, with each symbol representing a syllable rather than an individual phoneme. The syllable "Hi" belongs to a specific set of characters in the script, and it is encoded in the Unicode standard to support digital preservation and modern representation of the Mende language.
