U+A50E "ꔎ" Vai Syllable Tee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꔎ
U+A50E "ꔎ" Vai Syllable Tee is a character from the Vai syllabary, a writing system used historically for the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "tee" and is part of a larger script invented in the 1830s by Momolu Duwalu Bukele, which remains in use today for cultural and educational purposes among the Vai people. The Vai script is notable for being one of the few indigenous African writing systems developed without direct outside influence, and each syllabic character, including ꔎ, encodes both a consonant and a vowel sound.
