Adlam Small Letter Waw

Adlam Small Letter Waw at U+1E931 is a lowercase letter of the Adlam script used to write Fulani and related Fula varieties. It belongs to the Adlam Unicode block and represents the consonant sound commonly transliterated as w, as in words where Fulani spelling needs a distinct waw letter. In everyday Adlam text, it appears in lowercase words in books, literacy materials, messaging, religious publications, and community writing for languages such as Pulaar, Pular, and Fulfulde. It pairs with the corresponding capital Adlam letter in normal casing, so it is used after word beginnings and in ordinary running text rather than as a standalone symbol. The letter is also seen in language-learning materials and linguistic work that compare Adlam spelling with Latin-based Fulani orthographies. In those contexts, 𞤱 may be glossed or transliterated with Latin w to help readers connect the Adlam form with familiar romanized spellings. Font and keyboard support for Adlam can still vary by device, which is the main practical issue when sharing or searching text that contains this letter.
