Source: Browser Default
U+16890 "𖢐" Bamum Letter Phase-C Nza is a glyph from the Bamum script, specifically representing a syllable in the Phase-C stage of the script's historical development used for writing the Bamum language of Cameroon. This character, like others in the Bamum block, was part of a writing system originally created in the late 19th century by King Njoya, which underwent several phases of standardization and simplification before falling into disuse and later being revived. The "Nza" sound corresponds to a specific syllable in the language, and the letter is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode to preserve and support digital use of this culturally significant African script.
