U+A6C7 "ꛇ" Bamum Letter Ntee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꛇ
U+A6C7 "ꛇ" Bamum Letter Ntee is a glyph from the Bamum script, which was historically used to write the Bamum language of the Bamum people in present-day Cameroon. This specific character represents the syllable or sound "ntee" in the Bamum writing system, which was originally developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries under the reign of King Njoya. The Bamum script underwent several stages of evolution before being largely replaced by the Latin alphabet in modern usage, but it remains an important cultural symbol and is encoded in Unicode to support digital preservation of this unique African writing tradition.
