Unicode Version 17.0

U+A6B4 "ꚴ" Bamum Letter Suu is part of the Bamum script, which was originally developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by King Njoya of the Bamum people in what is now Cameroon. This specific letter represents the syllable "suu" and belongs to a later stage of the script's evolution, known as Bamum Phase C, which refined the earlier pictographic system into a more streamlined syllabary. The character is used for writing the Bamum language and is encoded in the Unicode Bamum block, helping to preserve and digitally support this historically significant African writing system.
