Source: Browser Default
U+A5DC "ꗜ" Vai Syllable Nggo is a glyph from the Vai script, a writing system historically used by the Vai people of Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "nggo," which is pronounced with a velar nasal onset followed by a mid back rounded vowel, and it is part of the larger syllabary traditionally credited to the Vai inventor Momolu Duwalu Bukele in the 1830s. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard within the Vai block (U+A500 to U+A63F), which was added in version 5.1 to support digital representation of this indigenous African script, preserving its use for modern communication and cultural heritage.
