𖨨
U+16A28 "𖨨" Bamum Letter Phase-F Ngga is a specific glyph belonging to the Bamum script, which was developed in the early 20th century by King Njoya of the Bamum Kingdom in present-day Cameroon as part of a major orthographic reform. This character represents the syllable "ngga" and is classified under the "Phase-F" stage of the script's evolution, one of several historical phases that refined the writing system from a logographic to a more syllabic form. Designed for writing the Bamum language, it is now used in modern digital typography and included in the Unicode Standard to preserve and support the cultural heritage of the Bamum people.
