U+16A06 "𖨆" Bamum Letter Phase-F Ee is a glyph from the Bamum syllabary, a writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in present-day Cameroon. This specific character belongs to Phase F, the sixth and last significant reform of the script implemented by King Njoya and his scribes, which reduced the syllabary from hundreds of characters to a more streamlined set. The syllable "Ee" represents a distinct sound in the Bamum language, and the character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane as part of the Bamum Supplement block, ensuring its preservation for digital use by contemporary speakers and researchers.
