U+168E9 "𖣩" Bamum Letter Phase-C Ken Law is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, an African writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon, used primarily for writing the Bamum language. This particular character belongs to Phase C, which was part of a series of script reforms by King Njoya, where the number of symbols was progressively reduced and simplified from an earlier, more pictographic stage.
