Unicode Version 17.0

𖣐

U+168D0 "𖣐" Bamum Letter Phase-C Ngom is a glyph from the Bamum script, which originated in the Bamum Kingdom in presentday Cameroon and was developed in the early 20th century during a series of script reforms. This particular character belongs to Phase C, one of the later stages of the script's evolution, and represents the syllable "ngom." It is part of the Bamum Supplement block in Unicode, encoded to preserve the historical and cultural significance of the script, which was used for writing the Bamum language, though its usage declined after the introduction of the Latin alphabet.
