Unicode Version 17.0
ð–£³
U+168F3 "ð–£³" Bamum Letter Phase-D Nji is a glyph from the Bamum script, which is used to write the Bamum language of Cameroon. This specific character represents the syllable "nji" and belongs to Phase D, one of several historical stages in the evolution of the Bamum writing system developed by King Ibrahim Njoya in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Phase D reflects an intermediate simplification in the script's design, moving from an earlier pictorial phase toward a more streamlined syllabary. The character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane and is part of a larger effort to preserve and digitally support the rich cultural heritage of the Bamum people.
