U+A6A1 "ꚡ" Bamum Letter Ka Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+A6A1 "ꚡ" Bamum Letter Ka is a glyph from the Bamum script, which was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the Bamum Kingdom of present-day Cameroon to write the Bamum language. This specific character represents the consonant sound "ka" and is part of a larger syllabic writing system created by King Ibrahim Njoya, which underwent several stages of simplification before its modern encoding. Today, it is used primarily in historical and cultural contexts, as the Bamum language is now commonly written with a Latin alphabet, though the script remains an important symbol of Bamum heritage and identity.
