U+A611 "ꘑ" Vai Syllable Ndole Ka Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A611 "ꘑ" Vai Syllable Ndole Ka is a glyph from the Vai syllabary, an indigenous writing system used to represent the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Specifically, this character encodes the syllable pronounced as "ka" with a "ndole" or "nd" prefix, reflecting the Vai script's construction of syllables through diacritic-like modifications to base consonant forms. Part of the Vai block in Unicode (U+A500–U+A63F), it was added to the standard to support digital preservation of West African languages and their unique phonetic structures.
