U+16A26 "𖨦" Bamum Letter Phase-F Ken Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𖨦
U+16A26 "𖨦" Bamum Letter Phase-F Ken is a glyph from the historic Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon to write the Bamum language. This specific character, "ken," belongs to the later Phase-F stage of the script's evolution, a simplified and more systematic version of the original syllabary created by King Njoya and his scribes. Representing a specific syllable in the Bamum phonetic inventory, it is used in written communication for the language, though modern usage is limited as the script has largely been replaced by the Latin alphabet.
