U+A5FF "ꗿ" Vai Syllable Ce Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꗿ
U+A5FF "ꗿ" Vai Syllable Ce is a specific 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 "ce," pronounced with the sound /tʃe/ or a similar affricate, and is part of a larger set of over 200 symbols created in the 1830s by the Vai people, making it one of the few indigenous African scripts to develop independently. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and accurate text representation of this unique African script in modern computing.
