U+A6B1 "ꚱ" Bamum Letter Ndaa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꚱ
U+A6B1 "ꚱ" Bamum Letter Ndaa is a specific glyph from the Bamum script, a writing system historically used in the Bamum Kingdom, which is now part of present day Cameroon. This character represents the syllable "ndaa" and belongs to a set of letters that were standardized for writing the Bamum language, which underwent several major reforms in the early 20th century under King Njoya and his successors. The Bamum script itself is notable for evolving from a logographic system into a syllabary, and U+A6B1 is part of the modern encoded set that helps preserve and digitally represent this unique African writing tradition.
