U+A6A2 "ꚢ" Bamum Letter U is a specific glyph from the Bamum syllabary, a writing system developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for the Bamum language of Cameroon, primarily in the Bamum script's historical phase A. This letter represents the syllable or sound "u" and is part of a larger set of characters used for writing the Bamum language, which underwent several script reforms before being largely replaced by the Latin alphabet.
