U+1E947 "𞥇" Adlam Hamza Unicode Character

U+1E947 "𞥇" Adlam Hamza is a diacritical mark used in the Adlam script, which was created in the 1980s for writing the Fulani (Fula) language primarily in West African countries like Guinea and Senegal. This specific character represents a glottal stop sound, functioning as a modifier that attaches to base consonants to alter their pronunciation. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital text in the Adlam script can be accurately represented and exchanged across modern computing platforms, supporting the preservation and use of a relatively young but culturally significant writing system.
