U+1E848 "𞡈" Mende Kikakui Syllable M055 Te Unicode Character

U+1E848 "𞡈" Mende Kikakui Syllable M055 Te is part of the Mende Kikakui script, a writing system created in the early 20th century for the Mende language spoken primarily in Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "te" and belongs to a syllabary devised by Mohamed Turay and later refined by Kisimi Kamara. The Mende Kikakui script is written from right to left and was historically used for correspondence, religious texts, and record keeping, though it has largely been replaced by the Latin alphabet in modern times. U+1E848 is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane and is included in Unicode version 7.0, released in 2014, to help preserve and digitally represent this unique African script.
