U+1E921 "𞤡" Adlam Capital Letter Sha Unicode Character

U+1E921 "𞤡" Adlam Capital Letter Sha is part of the Adlam script, a writing system created in the 1980s for the Fulani language (Fulfulde) by two Guinean brothers, Ibrahima and Abdoulaye Barry. This specific character represents the capital form of the consonant "sha," which corresponds to the sound /ʃ/ (like the "sh" in "ship"). Adlam is written from right to left and is used primarily in West African countries such as Guinea, Nigeria, and Liberia. The uppercase variant, like other Adlam capitals, is typically employed for proper nouns or the beginning of sentences. The script gained official Unicode inclusion in 2016 with version 9.0, helping to preserve and promote Fulani literacy and cultural identity in digital contexts.
