𖠌
U+1680C "𖠌" Bamum Letter Phase-A Tu Maemba is a glyph from the Bamum script, which was originally developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language spoken in present day Cameroon. This specific character, named "Tu Maemba," belongs to the script's Phase-A version, one of several evolutionary stages of the writing system as it was simplified over time by King Njoya and his advisors. As part of the Unicode Bamum block, it serves to digitally preserve and represent an important piece of West African cultural and linguistic heritage.
