U+A6DB "ꛛ" Bamum Letter Na Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꛛ
U+A6DB "ꛛ" Bamum Letter Na is a component of the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by King Njoya of the Bamum Kingdom in present-day Cameroon to write the Bamum language. This specific character represents the syllable "na" and belongs to the set of over 500 characters in the script, which underwent several stages of simplification from a complex pictographic system to a more streamlined syllabary. Today, the Bamum script is recognized as a cultural treasure and is encoded in the Unicode Standard to support its preservation and digital use, though its practical usage remains limited due to the widespread adoption of the Latin alphabet in the region.
