Unicode Version 17.0
𖦻
U+169BB "𖦻" Bamum Letter Phase-E Fa is a specific glyph from the Bamum syllabary, a writing system historically used for the Bamum language of western Cameroon. This character belongs to Phase E, the final stage of the script's evolution, which was refined in the early 20th century under King Ibrahim Njoya to represent the language more accurately with around 80 simplified symbols. The letter "Fa" represents a syllable beginning with the "f" sound, and like other Bamum characters, it is encoded in the Unicode standard to preserve and enable digital use of this important part of Bamum cultural heritage.
