Unicode Version 17.0
ꕝ
U+A55D "ꕝ" Vai Syllable Dhha is a character from the Vai syllabary, a writing system historically used for the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This particular symbol represents a syllable pronounced as "dhha," specifically with a voiced dental implosive or breathy-voiced consonant sound, distinguishing it from other similar syllables in the Vai script. The Vai syllabary was created in the early 19th century and is one of the few indigenous writing systems in Africa that was invented by a single individual, in this case, Momolu Duwalu Bukele, and remains in use for certain cultural and educational purposes today.
