Unicode Version 17.0
𖤿
U+1693F "𖤿" Bamum Letter Phase-D Kuq is part of the Bamum script, which was used to write the Bamum language of Cameroon, and belongs to the script's Phase-D historical stage. This specific character represents the syllable or sound "kuq," and it was encoded in Unicode as part of the effort to preserve and digitally support the Bamum script's rich orthographic evolution. The Bamum script went through multiple phases of simplification and reform by King Njoya and his scribes in the early 20th century, with Phase-D being one of the intermediate stages before the script's final standardized form.
