Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+16964 "𖥤" Bamum Letter Phase-D Saq is part of the Bamum script used historically to write the Bamum language of Cameroon, originating from a series of script reforms undertaken by King Njoya in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This particular letter belongs to Phase-D, one of the later, more streamlined versions of the script that reduced the number of characters from hundreds to a more manageable set. As a syllable representing the sound "sa" or similar consonant-vowel combination, it serves as a functional component in writing the Bamum language, which has seen a revival in recent years through digital encoding and educational efforts.
