U+A535 "ꔵ" Vai Syllable Dhi Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꔵ
U+A535 "ꔵ" Vai Syllable Dhi is part of the Vai syllabary, a writing system created in the 1830s by Momolu Duwalu Bukele in present-day Liberia to represent the Vai language of the Mande family. This specific character encodes the syllable pronounced "dhi", and it is used in written Vai texts to convey that particular phonetic sound within the language's morphemes and words. The Vai script, which is a syllabary with over 200 distinct characters, is historically significant as one of the few indigenous African scripts developed in the 19th century, and U+A535 contributes to its comprehensive representation in modern digital typography and text processing.
