𖧛
U+169DB "𖧛" Bamum Letter Phase-E Taa is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, an indigenous writing system created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language spoken in present-day Cameroon. It represents the syllable "taa" and belongs to a later reform stage, known as Phase E, where the script was simplified and reorganized under the direction of King Njoya and his scribes. This character is part of the Bamum Supplement block in the Unicode Standard, which encodes the historical letters used in the later phases of the script's development.
