Adinkra

“Adinkra Alphabet was created in 2015 with 26 characters for the 26 Latin characters as English is the language of instruction in Ghana. The largest Adinkra Alphabet group is on Facebook with over 120,000 followers. In Jan of 2016 two additional characters “ɛ” and “ɔ” were added by the request of the Adinkra Alphabet Facebook followers. This extended the characters to 28. In 2017 members of the other three major tribes in Ghana Ewe, Ga and Dagbani requested that their characters be included and this addition extended Adinkra Alphabet to 42. The first Adinkra Alphabet characters developed in 2015 [sic] required several strokes. As most of the follower’s hand write Adinkra Alphabet they requested simplification of the characters requiring fewer strokes. This resulted in the creation of simplified Adinkra Alphabet characters in 2017. Although the characters for Adinkra Alphabet were defined, a standardized font was not created until 2020. ” - Charles Korankye 2020 C.E.
