Unicode Version 17.0
ðž¡®
U+1E86E "ðž¡®" Mende Kikakui Syllable M140 Ho is a written symbol from the Mende Kikakui script, which was historically used by the Mende people of Sierra Leone to transcribe their language. This specific character represents the syllable "ho" and is part of a syllabary where consonants and vowels are combined into distinct glyphs. The Mende Kikakui script was created in the early twentieth century by Kisimi Kamara and was widely taught in schools for a time, though it has since been largely replaced by the Latin alphabet in everyday use. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that this unique writing system can be digitally preserved and accessed on modern devices.
