Unicode Version 17.0
𖢫
U+168AB "𖢫" Bamum Letter Phase-C Ndida is part of the Bamum script, which was developed in the early 20th century by King Njoya of the Bamum people in present-day Cameroon to write the Bamum language. This specific letter belongs to the "Phase-C" iteration of the script, one of several reformed versions that simplified the original system of over 500 characters into a smaller, more efficient alphabet. The character represents a particular syllabic sound in the Bamum language and is encoded in the Unicode standard to support digital preservation and modern communication of this historic West African writing system.
