U+1682C "𖠬" Bamum Letter Phase-A Nika is part of the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Bamum Kingdom, located in modern day Cameroon. This specific character represents a syllable or phoneme in the Phase A version of the script, which was the first of several systematic revisions undertaken by King Njoya to create a writing system for the Bamum language. Phase A is the oldest known form of the script, comprising hundreds of pictographic and ideographic symbols that were later simplified into more abstract forms in subsequent phases.
