U+16A18 "𖨘" Bamum Letter Phase-F Nuae is a glyph from the Bamum script, specifically belonging to the third and final Phase F stage of the Bamum writing system's historical evolution in Cameroon. This script was originally devised by Sultan Ibrahim Njoya in the early 20th century and underwent several reforms, with Phase F representing the last of six syllabary versions before the system was standardized here. The character "Nuae" typically represents a syllable involving a consonant sound from the Bamum language, and its inclusion in Unicode allows for the digital preservation and encoding of this unique West African writing tradition.
