U+168ED "ð–£" Bamum Letter Phase-C Liq Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ð–£
U+168ED "ð–£" Bamum Letter Phase-C Liq is an individual glyph from the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Kingdom of Bamum (present-day Cameroon) under the direction of King Njoya to write the Bamum language. This specific character belongs to the Phase-C revision of the script, a later stage in its evolution where the original pictographic forms were simplified into a more abstract syllabary. The letter represents the sound "liq" or a similar phonetic value, and is part of the broader Bamum Unicode block that encodes historical versions of the script, preserving a unique African writing system that documents the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Bamum people.
