U+1693D "𖤽" Bamum Letter Phase-D Tuot Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𖤽
U+1693D "𖤽" Bamum Letter Phase-D Tuot is a syllabic glyph from the modified Bamum script, an African writing system originally developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon. This character belongs to Phase D, a later stage of the script's evolution under King Njoya's reforms, which simplified and standardized the elaborate pictorial symbols of earlier phases into a more streamlined alphabet. The specific syllable "Tuot" represents a phoneme used to write the Bamum language, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital preservation and modern use of this historic script.
