U+07C9 "߉" NKo Digit Nine Unicode Character

U+07C9 "߉" NKo Digit Nine is a numeral used within the NKo script, an alphabetic writing system created in 1949 by Solomana Kanté for the Manding languages of West Africa, such as Maninka, Bambara, and Dyula. This digit represents the number nine and follows the same decimal numeric system as the other NKo digits, which range from zero to nine and are written from right to left, mirroring the direction of the script itself. Its inclusion in Unicode supports the digital representation and preservation of these languages, enabling accurate encoding for computing and text processing. The character is visually distinct, with a curved, calligraphic form that aligns with the aesthetic of other NKo script symbols.
