U+1E91A "𞤚" Adlam Capital Letter Tu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𞤚
U+1E91A "𞤚" Adlam Capital Letter Tu is a capital letter in the Adlam script, a writing system created in the 1980s for the Fulani (Fula) language spoken across West Africa, primarily by the Fulɓe people. This specific character represents a consonant sound similar to the English "t" and is used as the uppercase counterpart to the lowercase Adlam letter "tu" in the script's alphabet. The Adlam script, which means "the alphabet that will prevent a people from being lost," was designed by two brothers Ibrahima and Abdoulaye Barry in the late 1980s and has since been encoded in Unicode to support digital communication, literacy, and cultural preservation for Fulani speakers worldwide.
