U+168A1 "𖢡" Bamum Letter Phase-C Keukaq Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+168A1 "𖢡" Bamum Letter Phase-C Keukaq is a glyph from the Bamum script, which was historically used to write the Bamum language of Cameroon, representing a specific syllable or sound in that language's Phase-C orthographic reform. This character belongs to the supplementary block of the Bamum script, which was added to Unicode as part of an effort to preserve and digitally encode the ancient writing system that underwent several phases of simplification and standardization under the reign of King Njoya in the early 20th century. The letter "Keukaq" continues the tradition of the script's syllabic structure, and its inclusion in Unicode helps facilitate modern digital communication and cultural heritage preservation for the Bamum people and linguists studying the language.
