U+1E903 "𞤃" Adlam Capital Letter Miim Unicode Character
U+1E903 "𞤃" Adlam Capital Letter Miim is the uppercase form of the letter "m" in the Adlam script, an alphabet invented in the late 1980s by the brothers Ibrahima and Abdoulaye Barry for writing the Fulani language (Fulfulde) spoken across West Africa. This character represents the voiced bilabial nasal sound /m/ and is part of the Adlam block in Unicode, designed to support the modern digital representation of the script. As a capital letter, it is used at the beginning of sentences and for proper nouns, following the script's left-to-right writing direction. Its inclusion in Unicode, specifically in version 9.0 released in 2016, helps preserve and promote the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Fulani people in digital communication.
