U+169EB "𖧫" Bamum Letter Phase-E Fee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𖧫
U+169EB "𖧫" Bamum Letter Phase-E Fee is a glyph from the Phase E stage of the Bamum script, a writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language spoken in present day Cameroon. This particular letter, which is one of many in an extensive syllabary created by King Njoya and his scribes, carries the phonetic value "fee" and forms part of a later, more streamlined phase of the script's evolution. Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent a unique African heritage writing system that transitioned from a pictographic to a syllabic form.
