U+1688C "𖢌" Bamum Letter Phase-B Ma is a script character from the Bamum language and writing system, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon. This specific glyph represents the syllable or sound "ma" and belongs to the Phase-B stage of the Bamum script's evolution, a period during which King Njoya and his scribes reformed and expanded the original syllabary to create a more efficient and complete writing system.
