U+A5C2 "ꗂ" Vai Syllable Bho is a character from the Vai script, which is used to write the Vai language spoken primarily in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific glyph represents the syllable "bho," a phonetic unit in the Vai writing system, which was standardized in the Unicode Standard as part of the Vai block.
