U+A6D2 "ꛒ" Bamum Letter Ken is a glyph from the Bamum script, which originated in the early 20th century in what is now Cameroon, created by King Ibrahim Njoya to write the Bamum language.

Its inclusion in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent this unique African writing system for linguistic and cultural study.
