U+1681C "𖠜" Bamum Letter Phase-A Gheuaerae Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1681C "𖠜" Bamum Letter Phase-A Gheuaerae is a historical script character from the Bamum syllabary, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by King Ibrahim Njoya of the Bamum Kingdom in present-day Cameroon. This specific letter represents a syllable sound in the Phase A version of the script, which is the first and most complex of the four evolutionary stages of the Bamum writing system. As part of the Bamum Unicode block, the Gheuaerae character is used for encoding texts that preserve the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Bamum people, though the script is no longer in common everyday use. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard allows for digital preservation and academic study of this unique African writing tradition.
