What is nko unicode block?

The NKo Unicode block is a block of characters used to write the N'Ko script, which is used to write the N'Ko language, a written language primarily used in West Africa. The N'Ko script was created in 1949 by Souleymane Kante and is used by several West African languages, including Bambara, Malinké, and Dioula. The N'Ko Unicode block was added to Unicode in version 5.2 and contains 59 characters. The characters are written from right to left and include letters, vowel marks, and punctuation marks. The purpose of adding the N'Ko Unicode block was to enable the digital representation of the N'Ko script, allowing it to be used in computerized systems. The N'Ko Unicode block is located in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane (SMP) of the Unicode standard, which means that it contains characters beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), commonly used in writing systems around the world.
