U+1E93F "𞤿" Adlam Small Letter Kha Unicode Character

U+1E93F "𞤿" Adlam Small Letter Kha is a specific glyph from the Adlam script, a writing system created in the 1980s for the Fulani language (Fulfulde) primarily used in West Africa. This character represents a consonant sound, specifically the voiceless fricative /χ/ or a similar guttural sound, akin to the "ch" in the Scottish word "loch" or the Arabic letter "خ". It forms part of the standard set of letters designed to improve literacy for the Fulani people, displaying a rounded, calligraphic style typical of Adlam script. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Adlam block, which was added in version 9.0 in 2016 to support digital text processing for this increasingly adopted alphabet.
