U+1E85E "𞡞" Mende Kikakui Syllable M075 Fe is a glyph from the Mende Kikakui script, which was historically used to write the Mende language of Sierra Leone. This particular character, a syllable representing the sound "fe," belongs to a syllabary invented in the early 20th century by Mohamed Turay and revised by Kisimi Kamara. The Mende Kikakui script, encoded in Unicode’s Supplementary Multilingual Plane, is written from right to left and contains over 190 distinct syllabic signs, reflecting the phonetic structure of the language. Today, "fe" and other Kikakui characters are rarely used in everyday writing but remain culturally significant as a unique indigenous African writing system.
