The three tones

Tone is part of the character in Ndebe, not a mark added to it, so one syllable is written three different ways. These are the same shape family — the character on the left in each box is the one to learn first, and it is the form the chart shows.

  • high tone

    re

    U+E68A

  • mid tone

    re

    U+E68B

  • low tone

    re

    U+E68C
