U+A520 "ꔠ" Vai Syllable Gee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꔠ
U+A520 "ꔠ" Vai Syllable Gee is a logogram from the Vai syllabary, a writing system historically used by the Vai people of Liberia and Sierra Leone. This character represents the specific syllable "gee" in the Vai language, which is part of a larger set of over 200 distinct syllabic characters used to represent the phonetic sounds of the language. The Vai syllabary, invented in the early 19th century by Momolu Duwalu Bukele, is one of the few indigenous African writing systems that remains in modern use, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally support this cultural heritage.
