Unicode Version 17.0
꛰
U+A6F0 "꛰" Bamum Combining Mark Koqndon is a diacritical mark used in the Bamum script of West Africa to modify the sound of a base character, specifically indicating a high tone in the historical orthography of the Bamum language. This combining mark is written above the syllable or letter it modifies, and it is part of the extended Bamum block, which was added to the Unicode Standard to preserve the complex writing system developed in Cameroon during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its inclusion ensures that digital text can accurately represent the tonal distinctions essential to the proper pronunciation and meaning of words in the Bamum script.
