U+1691B "𖤛" Bamum Letter Phase-D Puut Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𖤛
U+1691B "𖤛" Bamum Letter Phase-D Puut is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Bamum Kingdom of present-day Cameroon. This character belongs to Phase D of the script's evolution, a stage that saw a reduction in the number of symbols from earlier forms, and "Puut" is one of its syllabic or phonetic values used to represent a sound in the Bamum language. The inclusion of this character in Unicode ensures that this historical writing system, which went through several reforms under King Njoya, can be digitally preserved and used in modern text processing.
