U+A5E5 "ꗥ" Vai Syllable Hen Unicode Character

U+A5E5 "ꗥ" Vai Syllable Hen is a glyph from the Vai syllabary, a writing system historically used for the Vai language spoken in Liberia and Sierra Leone. This specific character represents the syllable "hen" in the Vai script, which is one of the few indigenous scripts developed in Africa in the 19th century. The Vai syllabary, created around 1833 by Momolu Duwalu Bukele, contains over 200 symbols that denote syllables rather than individual letters, and U+A5E5 is part of the standard Unicode block allocated for Vai characters to support digital representation of this important cultural writing system.
