U+1E95F "𞥟" Adlam Initial Question Mark Unicode Character

U+1E95F "𞥟" Adlam Initial Question Mark is a punctuation mark used in the Adlam script, which was created in the 1980s to write the Fulani language primarily spoken in West Africa. This character appears at the beginning of a question, complementing a standard question mark at the end to clearly distinguish interrogative sentences, thereby aiding readability in bidirectional text contexts. Unlike many scripts, Adlam is written from right to left, and this initial marker helps signal the intent of a question early in a sentence, reflecting the script's innovative design for effective communication and educational purposes.
