Template:Uncommon Unicode notice

Adlam is a Unicode block containing characters from the Adlam script, 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] In October 2017, Google released a Noto font that supports the block, Noto Sans Adlam.[4] On October 3, 2018, Microsoft released an updated Ebrima font to support Adlam alphabet to Windows Insiders as part of the Windows 10 version 1903 feature update, starting from build 18252.[5]
