Unicode Version 17.0
𖨤
U+16A24 "𖨤" Bamum Letter Phase-F Ni is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in present-day Cameroon for writing the Bamum language. It represents the syllable "ni" and belongs to Phase F, the final and most streamlined stage of the script's evolution, which simplified earlier pictorial characters into a more abstract and efficient writing system. This character is part of the Bamum Supplement block and is used for historical and linguistic documentation, particularly in texts recording the language's phonological inventory and its cultural heritage.
