Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¢µ
U+168B5 "𖢵" Bamum Letter Phase-C Ngguon is a glyph from the Bamum script, an African writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon, used to write the Bamum language. This specific letter belongs to the Phase C stage of the script's evolution, representing the phonological value /ŋ͡gʷɔn/ or a similar sound, and is part of a large syllabary that King Njoya and his scribes refined through multiple phases to simplify and standardize the writing system. The character is encoded in the Gothic block of Unicode's Supplementary Multilingual Plane, reflecting ongoing efforts to preserve and digitally support historic and less widely used scripts.
