Unicode Version 17.0
𖨍
U+16A0D "𖨍" Bamum Letter Phase-F Meeee is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, an indigenous writing system developed in the early 20th century for the Bamum language spoken in Cameroon. This character belongs to Phase F of the script's evolution, which represents a later stage in its simplification and standardization under King Ibrahim Njoya's reign, where the number of characters was reduced to 80 core syllables. The "Meeee" designation refers to its phonetic value, representing a nasalized vowel sound, and it is part of the Bamum Supplement block in Unicode, encoded to support the digital preservation and modern use of this historic African script.
