U+16A19 "𖨙" Bamum Letter Phase-F Nu Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𖨙
U+16A19 "𖨙" Bamum Letter Phase-F Nu is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for writing the Bamum language of Cameroon. This character represents the syllable "nu" and belongs to the "Phase-F" stage of the script's evolution, one of several simplified stages created under the direction of King Ibrahim Njoya as he refined the writing system over time. The Phase-F version is part of a later, more streamlined form of the script that reduced the number of characters from hundreds to about 80, making it more accessible for everyday use, though the script as a whole largely fell out of common practice by the mid-20th century.
