Template:Uncommon Unicode notice

Adlam is a Unicode block containing characters from the Adlam alphabet, an alphabetic script devised during the late 1980s for writing the Fula language in Guinea, Nigeria, Liberia and other nearby countries.

The proposal was authored by Michael Everson.[3] The next version of the Noto fonts will implement it.[3]
