Unicode Version 17.0

U+A619 "ꘙ" Vai Symbol Taa is a graphical sign from the Vai syllabary, which was historically used to write the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "taa" and is part of a unique script invented in the early 19th century by Momolu Duwalu Bukele. The Vai script is notable for being one of the few indigenous African writing systems with a well-documented origin, and the Taa symbol contributes to the script’s representation of tonal and syllabic sounds in the Vai language.
