Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¡¡
U+16861 "ð–¡¡" Bamum Letter Phase-B Peeshi is a glyph from the Bamum script, used historically to write the Bamum language of the Bamum people in present-day Cameroon. This particular character belongs to the Phase-B version of the script, which was a simplified and reorganized form developed in the early 1900s by King Njoya and his scribes as part of a series of script reforms. Representing the sound "pe" or "pÉ›," it functions as a syllabic letter within a writing system originally created in the late 19th century and later encoded in Unicode for digital preservation.
