U+16AE1 "𖫡" Bassa Vah Letter To Unicode Character

U+16AE1 "𖫡" Bassa Vah Letter To is the fourteenth letter of the Bassa Vah alphabet, an indigenous script devised for the Bassa language of Liberia and Sierra Leone. Representing the consonant sound 't' as in the English word "top," this character is part of a syllabary invented in the early 20th century by Dr. Thomas Flo Lewis and other Bassa intellectuals to preserve and promote the language, which was facing decline. The Bassa Vah script comprises over 30 letters and was historically used for writing religious texts, personal correspondence, and cultural records, though it remains rare today.
