U+16A03 "𖨃" Bamum Letter Phase-F Ka is a glyph from the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon by King Njoya and his scribes to write the Bamum language. This specific character belongs to Phase F, the final and most refined stage of the script's evolution, and represents the syllable "ka."
