U+1E94B "𞥋" Adlam Nasalization Mark Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𞥋

U+1E94B "𞥋" Adlam Nasalization Mark is a combining diacritical mark used in the Adlam script, which was created in the 1980s for writing the Fulani language (Fulfulde) primarily in West Africa. This mark is placed above a base character to indicate that the consonant or vowel is nasalized, a phonetic feature important for accurate pronunciation in languages like Fulfulde. It is part of the Adlam block in the Unicode standard, which was added to support digital representation of the script for modern communication, including in education, literature, and digital media. As a combining character, it modifies the preceding letter and ensures that nasalization is clearly conveyed in written text, helping to preserve the linguistic integrity of the Adlam writing system.
