Unicode Version 17.0
𖢬
U+168AC "𖢬" Bamum Letter Phase-C Taashae is a script symbol from the Bamum writing system, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon. This specific glyph belongs to the Phase-C stage of the script's evolution, representing a later and more streamlined version of the original Bamum syllabary created by King Njoya. The letter "Taashae" corresponds to a particular phonetic sound within the language, and its inclusion in the Unicode Standard helps preserve and digitally represent this historically significant African writing system.
