U+169B6 "𖦶" Bamum Letter Phase-E Ngkup is a script character from the Bamum syllabary, which was developed in the early 20th century by King Ibrahim Njoya of the Bamum people in present-day Cameroon. This specific letter represents the sound "ngkup" and belongs to Phase E of the script's evolution, one of several stages in which Njoya refined the writing system from a logographic to a more phonetic syllabary. The character is encoded in the Supplementary Multilingual Plane of Unicode and is used, though rarely, in modern digital contexts to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the Bamum language.
