U+1E941 "𞥁" Adlam Small Letter Zal is a script character used in writing the Fulani language with the Adlam alphabet, which was created in the 1980s to preserve and promote the Fula people's linguistic heritage across West Africa. This specific letter represents the voiced alveolar fricative sound similar to the English "z" and is part of a modern script known for its elegant, flowing design that combines traditional Arabic calligraphic influences with a unique, modified Latin-style structure. As a "small letter" in the Adlam script, it pairs with a corresponding capital form, helping to standardize the orthography for digital communication and cultural documentation in Unicode’s ongoing effort to support minority languages worldwide.
