Unicode Version 17.0
𞤉
U+1E909 "𞤉" Adlam Capital Letter E is part of the Adlam script, a modern writing system invented in the late 1980s for the Fulani (Fulfulde) language, primarily used in West African countries like Guinea, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone. This character represents the uppercase form of the letter E in the Adlam alphabet, which is written from right to left and contains 28 letters with distinct tonal and vowel markings. The inclusion of this character in Unicode, specifically in the Adlam block (U+1E900 to U+1E95F), supports digital communication and preservation of the script, which was created by brothers Abdoulaye and Ibrahima Barry to promote literacy in the Fulani language.
