𖨯
U+16A2F "𖨯" Bamum Letter Phase-F Ko is a glyph from the Bamum script, a writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Bamum Kingdom, located in present-day Cameroon. This specific character represents the syllable "ko" and belongs to the Phase-F stage of the script's evolution, which was part of a systematic simplification and standardization effort led by King Njoya. The Bamum script, including this letter, is used to write the Bamum language and is encoded in the Unicode standard to preserve and support digital communication for this historical and cultural writing system.
