U+A6D4 "ꛔ" Bamum Letter Ngga Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꛔ
U+A6D4 "ꛔ" Bamum Letter Ngga is part of the Bamum script, which was initially developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by King Ibrahim Njoya of the Bamum people in present-day Cameroon. This specific character represents the consonant sound /ŋga/ in the Bamum language, and it belongs to the modern phase of the script, known as the "A-ka-u-ku" alphabet, which simplified earlier pictographic forms into a more systematic syllabary. While the Bamum script fell out of widespread use during the colonial era, it has seen modern revival efforts, and this letter helps preserve the linguistic heritage of the Bamum people.
