ꗦ
U+A5E6 "ꗦ" Vai Syllable We is a glyph from the Vai script, which was historically used to write the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "we" in the Vai syllabary, a writing system created in the 1830s by Momolu Duwalu Bukele. The Vai script is notable for being one of the few indigenous African writing systems developed without direct European influence, and it remains in limited modern use for ceremonial and educational purposes.
