U+169E3 "𖧣" Bamum Letter Phase-E Yoq Cover Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𖧣
U+169E3 "𖧣" Bamum Letter Phase-E Yoq Cover is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, an African writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon. This character belongs to Phase E of the script's historical evolution, representing the syllable or sound "yoq" and is considered a "cover" or variant form within that stage of the script's orthography. It is part of the Unicode Standard's effort to preserve and digitally encode the Bamum script, which underwent several phases of simplification and reform before falling out of common use.
