U+168D4 "ð–£”" Bamum Letter Phase-C Nten Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

ð–£”

U+168D4 "ð–£”" Bamum Letter Phase-C Nten is a glyph from the Bamum script, an indigenous writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language of Cameroon. This particular letter belongs to Phase C, a later stage in the script's evolution initiated by King Njoya, which simplified earlier characters for easier learning and printing. Representing a specific syllabic sound, "ð–£”" is part of a broader effort by the Bamum people to preserve their written heritage, though the script fell out of widespread use after colonial intervention.
