This character belongs to the Ethiopic Extended-B block. The Ethiopic Extended-B block includes additional characters used in writing the Ge'ez script, which is the liturgical language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and is also used for several modern languages spoken in Ethiopia and Eritrea, including Amharic, Tigrinya, and Tigre. The Ge'ez script has a long history, dating back over 1,700 years, and it remains one of the most widely used indigenous writing systems in Africa. The additional characters included in the Ethiopic Extended-B block are necessary for accurately representing certain phonetic and orthographic features of the modern languages that use the script. By including these characters in Unicode, the block ensures that digital texts in Amharic, Tigrinya, and other Ethiopic languages can be accurately represented and shared, helping to preserve these languages in both print and digital media..
