I know this is an ugly one, but I have to create a vector version and I'm not sure what this font is. It might be one of those Windows exclusive dealios. Thanks for your help.

It's not that ugly. :-)
BTW if you mean it might be a Windows OS font that's not on OSX, there's actually a way to buy many of those, thanks to Ascender.

Could it be any of these (none of the letters are particularly unique):
Gisha
Leewaladee
Segoe
Note - On many of Microsofts non-english fonts, such as YaHei, they put the Segoe glyphs into the Latin unicode slots.

Crisp reference at a decent size, personally I’d just go ahead and draw it! It’s not like it would take very long (three of one character is a gift).

I found it, took me awhile :) It's a Microsoft Windows 7 packaged font named Ebrima.
A little history:
Ebrima was designed to support a large number of African languages. The font contains characters for the Nko, Tifinagh, Vai and Osmanya writing scripts.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.

So/but it seems HVB was correct - and you can probably find an easier shortcut than tracking down Ebrima.

You would be done already if you’d drawn it ;-)
