U+A5DB "ꗛ" Vai Syllable Ko Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꗛ
U+A5DB "ꗛ" Vai Syllable Ko is a glyph from the Vai syllabary, a writing system historically used for the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This character represents the syllable "ko" and is part of the Vai script's standard block, which was encoded in Unicode version 5.1 in 2008 to preserve and support the language's unique written tradition. The Vai syllabary, invented in the 1830s by Momolu Duwalu Bukele, is one of the few indigenous African scripts with a known origin and continues to be used in cultural contexts today.
