U+1E933 "𞤳" Adlam Small Letter Kaf Unicode Character

U+1E933 "𞤳" Adlam Small Letter Kaf is a character from the Adlam script, which was created in the 1980s for writing the Fulani language (also known as Fula) spoken by millions across West Africa, particularly in Guinea, Senegal, and Mali. This specific glyph represents the consonant sound "k" and is part of a modern alphabet designed to replace earlier Arabic and Latin transcriptions, making written Fulani more accessible and culturally rooted.
