Unicode Version 17.0
𖠁
U+16801 "𖠁" Bamum Letter Phase-A Gbiee Fon is a single glyph from the Bamum script, which was historically used to write the Bamum language in what is now Cameroon. This specific letter belongs to the Phase A stage of the script's development, an early version created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by Sultan Ibrahim Njoya, who devised a complex syllabary. The character represents a particular syllable in the Bamum language, and its inclusion in Unicode as part of the Bamum Supplement block helps preserve and digitize this unique writing system for modern use.
