Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A56C "ꕬ" Vai Syllable Ngga is a glyph from the Vai script, which was historically used to write the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "ngga," a voiced velar nasal sound followed by a vowel, and is part of a larger syllabary system created in the early 19th century. The Vai script is one of the few indigenous African writing systems that was developed without direct colonial influence, and its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally support the Vai language and cultural heritage.
