U+1690A "𖤊" Bamum Letter Phase-D Maleeri is a glyph from the Bamum script, an indigenous writing system used for the Bamum language of Cameroon, representing a specific syllable or sound in the script's historical development. This character belongs to the Phase-D stage, which was one of several reform cycles undertaken in the early 20th century by King Njoya and his scribes to simplify the originally pictographic script into a more streamlined syllabary. The Maleeri syllable is part of a larger effort to document and preserve Bamum cultural heritage, reflecting the language's phonetic structure through a distinctive and stylized written form.
