Unicode Version 17.0
𖨢
U+16A22 "𖨢" Bamum Letter Phase-F Pee is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, an African writing system used historically for the Bamum language of Cameroon. This character belongs to the "Phase-F" stage of the script's evolution, which represents a later, simplified form developed under King Ibrahim Njoya in the early 20th century as part of ongoing script reforms. The syllable "Pee" is one of many phonetic values in this syllabary, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the accurate digital representation and preservation of this endangered script for linguistic study, cultural heritage, and modern communication.
