U+10497 "𐒗" Osmanya Letter E Unicode Character

U+10497 "𐒗" Osmanya Letter E is part of the Osmanya script, an alphabet created in the early 1920s by Osman Yusuf Kenadid to write the Somali language. This specific character represents the vowel sound "e," as in the English word "bed," and is used in the standard orthography of Osmanya. Although the script was developed to replace the Latin and Arabic alphabets for Somali writing, it never achieved widespread official adoption and is primarily of historical and scholarly interest today.
