U+16815 "ð– •" Bamum Letter Phase-A Suu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+16815 "ð– •" Bamum Letter Phase-A Suu is a glyph from the Bamum script, an African writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Kingdom of Bamum, located in present-day Cameroon. This specific character, designated as "Suu" in Phase A of the script's evolution, represents a syllabic or phonetic unit within the 1,600 plus character set that King Njoya and his scribes created and refined through several stages. Phase A marks the earliest form of the Bamum script, which originally began as a pictographic and then a logographic system before later phases transitioned into a more simplified syllabary. As part of this historical writing system, the character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode to digitally preserve and support the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Bamum people.
