Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¥…
U+16945 "ð–¥…" Bamum Letter Phase-D Ngguom is a specific glyph from the Bamum syllabary, a writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language of Cameroon, particularly associated with the script's experimental Phase D. This character represents the syllable "ngguom" and is part of the Bamum block in Unicode, which was added to support the preservation and digital use of this historical script. Phase D marks a distinct stage in the script's evolution, where the number of characters was reduced and standardized, making U+16945 an important element for accurately recording and displaying the Bamum language in modern text environments.
