Adlam Small Letter O

Adlam Small Letter O at U+1E92E is the lowercase Adlam letter used to write an o vowel in Fulani and related writing. It is part of the Adlam block, the Unicode range for the modern alphabet created for Pular/Fulfulde and other Fula-language varieties. In everyday Adlam text, this letter appears inside ordinary words, names, messages, teaching materials, religious publications, and community media written in the right-to-left Adlam script. It pairs with the corresponding capital letter in casing systems, so it is used where normal lowercase spelling is expected rather than as a symbol or abbreviation. Its most important setting is literacy and publishing for Fula-speaking communities across West and Central Africa and in the diaspora, including Pular, Fulfulde, and related varieties. It is also used in language education, dictionaries, keyboard layouts, and transliteration resources that map Adlam spelling to Latin-based orthographies. Because Adlam is a newer digital script, the main practical issue is font and platform support: older systems may show a missing-glyph box or fail to shape right-to-left Adlam text correctly.
