U+1E91D "𞤝" Adlam Capital Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+1E91D "𞤝" Adlam Capital Letter Kha is part of the Adlam script, a writing system created in the 1980s by two Guinean brothers, Abdoulaye and Ibrahima Barry, to write the Fulani language (Fulfulde). This character represents the capital form of the letter "Kha," which corresponds to a voiceless velar fricative sound, similar to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch" or the Arabic letter "خ" (Kha). It is used in modern Adlam orthography for writing Fulani texts, supporting literacy and cultural preservation, and is typically paired with its lowercase counterpart in Unicode for proper case sensitive text representation.
