U+1E937 "𞤷" Adlam Small Letter Chi Unicode Character

U+1E937 "𞤷" Adlam Small Letter Chi is a character from the Adlam script, a modern writing system created in the 1980s for the Fulani language (Fulfulde) spoken across West Africa. It represents the sound /tʃ/ (as in "chip") and is the small letter form corresponding to the capital "Chi". The Adlam script, which means "the alphabet that will save the children from extinction," was developed by the brothers Ibrahima and Abdoulaye Barry to preserve and promote Fulani literacy, and this character plays a role in writing words and texts that use the distinctive sounds of the language.
