Unicode Version 17.0
ꛢ
U+A6E2 "ꛢ" Bamum Letter Men is part of the Bamum script, a syllabary and set of ideographic and pictographic signs used historically for writing the Bamum language of Cameroon. This specific character represents a syllable or phonetic value within the script, which was devised in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by King Njoya of the Bamum people to serve as a written form for the kingdom’s oral traditions, administrative records, and cultural texts. The Bamum script underwent several phases of simplification, and the "Men" letter belongs to its later, more streamlined version, reflecting a key piece of West African linguistic and cultural heritage.
