NKo
Info · Characters
The NKo Unicode block contains the letters and symbols of a script designed to unify and promote literacy among speakers of Manding languages across West Africa.
NKo is a Unicode block containing characters for the Manding languages of West Africa, including Bamanan, Jula, Maninka, Mandinka, and a common literary language, Kangbe, also called NKo. NKo became part of Unicode with version 5.0 in July 2006. With Unicode 11.0 in June 2018, three additional characters were added: a combining mark for abbreviated units of measure and two currency symbols. The punctuation marks ⟨⸜⟩ and ⟨⸝⟩ were placed in the Supplemental Punctuation block.
