U+16AD3 "𖫓" Bassa Vah Letter Fa Unicode Character

U+16AD3 "𖫓" Bassa Vah Letter Fa is a character from the Bassa Vah script, an alphabet created in the early 20th century for writing the Bassa language of Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the consonant sound /f/ and is one of over thirty letters in the script, which was invented by Dr. Thomas Lewis and developed further by his associate, Rev. A. R. B. L. James, to promote literacy among the Bassa people. Although the script saw limited use and was largely supplanted by the Latin alphabet, it was added to the Unicode Standard in 2014 as part of version 7.0, ensuring its preservation for digital and historical purposes.
