Unicode Version 17.0
ð–¥½
U+1697D "ð–¥½" Bamum Letter Phase-E Ngop is a glyph from the Bamum script, which was developed in the early 20th century for writing the Bamum language of Cameroon. This specific character represents the syllable "ngop" and belongs to a later phase of the script called Phase E, which was part of an effort to simplify and standardize the writing system under the guidance of King Ibrahim Njoya. The Bamum script has six distinct historical phases, with Phase E reflecting a reduced set of characters compared to earlier, more complex forms. This letter, like others in the Bamum block, is used in modern digital contexts to preserve and transmit the written heritage of the Bamum people.
