U+169C6 "𖧆" Bamum Letter Phase-E Muae Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𖧆
U+169C6 "𖧆" Bamum Letter Phase-E Muae is a glyph from the Bamum scripts, which were developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in present-day Cameroon by King Njoya and his scribes to write the Bamum language. This particular character belongs to Phase E of the script's evolution, representing the syllable or sound "muae" as part of a larger system that progressed through multiple stages of simplification and standardization. Today, these historic characters are part of the Unicode Standard to support digital preservation and use of Bamum writing, though Phase E is noted for its complex and ornate shapes that later phases streamlined into simpler forms.
