The Bamum range was introduced with version 5.2.0 of the Unicode Standard, and is located in Plane 0, the Basic Multilingual Plane.

The Bamum phonetic script was invented around 1895 for the minority Bamum language in Cameroon. Historical characters can be found in the Bamum Supplement range.

The characters that appear in the “Character” columns of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.

There are no Unicode fonts designed specifically for Bamum.

If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/UA6A0.pdf.
