Unicode Version 17.0
𐐇
U+10407 "𐐇" Deseret Capital Letter Short E is a specific glyph from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script created in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under Brigham Young's direction to simplify English spelling. It represents the short "e" vowel sound, as heard in the word "bed" or "pen," and is one of 38 letters in the uppercase set of this alphabet. Though the Deseret alphabet never gained widespread adoption and fell out of common use by the early 20th century, the character was included in the Unicode standard to preserve this historical writing system, allowing for digital representation and study.
