U+A6F4 "꛴" Bamum Colon Unicode Character

U+A6F4 "꛴" Bamum Colon is a punctuation mark from the Bamum script, which was historically used to write the Bamum language of present-day Cameroon. This character functions as a colon, indicating a pause or introducing a list, explanation, or related thought in written text. Part of the Bamum block in Unicode, it was encoded to support the preservation and digital representation of the script, which underwent several reforms by King Njoya in the early 20th century. Its appearance is a distinctive vertical pair of dots, visually similar to the standard colon but encoded specifically for compatibility with Bamum typographic conventions.
