U+A562 "ꕢ" Vai Syllable Sa is a glyph from the Vai script, an indigenous writing system used primarily by the Vai people of Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "sa" in the Vai language, which is a Mande language spoken by over 100,000 people. The Vai script was invented in the early 19th century, making it one of the few indigenous writing systems in West Africa developed without external influence, and it is encoded in the Unicode Standard to preserve and support digital representation of the language.
