U+A60F "꘏" Vai Question Mark Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
꘏
U+A60F "꘏" Vai Question Mark is a punctuation mark used in the Vai script, a writing system created in the early 19th century for the Vai language spoken primarily in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Unlike the Latin question mark, which uses a hook shape, the Vai question mark resembles a small, stylized cross or X-like symbol, reflecting the script's unique graphic tradition. It serves the same grammatical function as its Western counterpart, indicating that a preceding sentence or phrase is interrogative, and it helps ensure proper tonal and contextual reading in Vai texts.
