Unicode Version 17.0
𖤒
U+16912 "𖤒" Bamum Letter Phase-D Ghaa is a glyph from the Bamum script, a writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Bamum Kingdom, located in present-day Cameroon. This specific character belongs to Phase D of the script's evolution, which is one of the several stages in which the Bamum syllabary was simplified and reorganized by King Njoya and his scribes. The letter represents a syllable or sound in the Bamum language, and its inclusion in the Unicode standard helps preserve and digitally represent this culturally significant African script for modern use.
