Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+169AB "𖦫" Bamum Letter Phase-E Kuet is a glyph from the Bamum scripts, which were developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon by King Njoya as part of a series of writing system reforms for the Bamum language. This specific character belongs to Phase E, one of the later simplified stages of the script, where the earlier pictographic forms were streamlined into more abstract syllabic representations. The letter Kuet, like others in this phase, represents a distinct syllable or sound in the Bamum language, and it is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode, ensuring its preservation and digital use for linguistic and cultural documentation.
