Unicode Version 17.0
𖨮
U+16A2E "𖨮" Bamum Letter Phase-F Loq is a glyph from the Bamum script, a writing system created in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by King Njoya of the Bamum people in what is now Cameroon. This character represents the syllable "loq" and belongs to the Phase-F stage of the script's development, which saw a significant reduction in the number of characters as the writing system was simplified over successive revisions. It is encoded in the Unicode Standard's Bamum Supplement block, primarily used for historical and linguistic documentation of the Bamum language and its rich written heritage.
