U+A6DF "ꛟ" Bamum Letter Ko Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ꛟ
U+A6DF "ꛟ" Bamum Letter Ko is a glyph from the Bamum script, an indigenous writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Bamum Kingdom, located in present-day Cameroon. This letter represents the consonant sound "ko" and belongs to the stage of the script known as the "A-ka-u-ku" phase, which was a significant reform that reduced the number of characters and introduced a more systematic syllabic structure. The Bamum script was created by King Njoya and his scribes, and it played a crucial role in recording the history, laws, and culture of the Bamum people before being largely supplanted by the Latin alphabet.
