ꖰ
U+A5B0 "ꖰ" Vai Syllable Cu is a specific glyph from the Vai syllabary, a writing system historically used by the Vai people of Liberia. This character represents the syllable "cu" in the Vai language, which is part of the Mande language family. It was added to the Unicode Standard in version 5.1, released in 2008, to support the digital representation and preservation of written Vai. The Vai script is unique in that it was created in the 19th century and is one of few indigenous African scripts developed without direct external influence, and this syllable character is one of many that enable the accurate encoding of the language's phonetic inventory.
