U+168BC "ð–¢¼" Bamum Letter Phase-C Fue Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð–¢¼

U+168BC "ð–¢¼" Bamum Letter Phase-C Fue is a glyph from the Bamum script, specifically belonging to the third and final phase of the script's historical development, known as Phase-C, which was a simplified and standardized version of the original syllabary created in the early 20th century in what is now Cameroon. This character represents the syllable "fue" in the Bamum language, a Niger-Congo language spoken by the Bamum people. The Bamum script, originally invented by King Njoya in the late 19th century, underwent several revisions to become more efficient, and Phase-C, established around 1918, reduced the number of characters to 80 basic syllabograms. U+168BC is encoded in the Unicode Bamum Supplement block, reflecting efforts to preserve and digitally support this unique African writing system for modern use.
