U+169EF "𖧯" Bamum Letter Phase-E Reux is a component of the Bamum scripts, specifically belonging to Phase E, a later stage in the evolution of the Bamum writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in what is now Cameroon. This script was created by King Njoya of the Bamum people to transcribe the Bamum language, and Phase E represents a significant simplification and standardization of earlier, more pictographic forms. The letter "Reux" (𖧯) corresponds to a specific syllabic or phonetic value in the script, contributing to the orthography that documented Bamum history, laws, and literature before the script fell into disuse and later experienced revitalization efforts in the 21st century.
