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] In October 2017, Google released a Noto font that supports the block, Noto Sans Adlam.[4]
