Unicode Version 17.0
ꖼ
U+A5BC "ꖼ" Vai Syllable Ngon is a part of the Vai syllabary, a writing system developed in the early 19th century by Momolu Duwalu Bukele for the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "ngon" and is encoded in the Vai block of the Unicode Standard, which was added in version 5.1 released in 2008. Its design, like other Vai characters, features a distinct, abstract form used to denote a specific phonetic sound in the language, contributing to the preservation and digital representation of this West African script.
