Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¡
U+1686D "ð–¡" Bamum Letter Phase-B Nyi Nteum is a glyph from the Bamum script, specifically belonging to Phase B of the script's historical development, which was used to write the Bamum language of Cameroon. This character represents the syllable "nyi nteum" and is part of a larger system of syllabic signs invented by King Ibrahim Njoya in the early 20th century as part of a series of script reforms. The Bamum script evolved through several phases, with Phase B being an intermediate stage where the script became more streamlined and less pictographic, and this particular letter is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode, allowing for its digital representation and preservation.
