U+168BB "ð–¢»" Bamum Letter Phase-C Nggum is a part of the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by King Njoya of the Bamum people in present-day Cameroon. This specific character represents the syllable "nggum" and belongs to the third phase of the script's evolution, known as Phase C, which was a major overhaul that simplified and systematized the earlier pictographic forms into a more efficient syllabary. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard within the Bamum Supplement block, allowing for the digital preservation and representation of this historically significant African writing system.
