U+10402 "𐐂" Deseret Capital Letter Long A Unicode Character

U+10402 "𐐂" Deseret Capital Letter Long A is a letter from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system created in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the direction of Brigham Young. This specific character represents the long "A" vowel sound, like the "a" in the English word "father". It is part of the Deseret script block in Unicode, which was added to support the historical and linguistic study of this unique alphabet, though the script itself never achieved widespread use and is now primarily of scholarly interest.
