Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¡‹
U+1684B "ð–¡‹" Bamum Letter Phase-A Sot is a glyph from the Bamum script, a writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language spoken in present-day Cameroon. This character represents the syllable "so" and belongs to Phase-A, the first and most comprehensive stage of the script's evolution under King Njoya and his scribes. The Bamum script was part of a significant cultural and intellectual movement, with Phase-A containing over 500 distinct characters, many of which were later simplified in subsequent phases. Today, "Sot" is encoded in Unicode to preserve and support digital use of this historic African writing system.
