U+A624 "꘤" Vai Digit Four Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+A624 "꘤" Vai Digit Four is a numeral from the Vai script, used historically in West Africa for writing the Vai language of Liberia and Sierra Leone. This character specifically represents the number four and belongs to a set of decimal digits that appear as distinct, non-Latin symbols. In the Vai writing system, which is a syllabary primarily used for everyday communication, these numeric characters were adopted from indigenous counting traditions. While the Vai script and its digits are now largely replaced by Latin-based alphabets and Arabic numerals in modern contexts, Unicode encodes them to preserve cultural heritage and support scholarly and digital applications involving historical Vai texts.
