U+1040D "𐐍" Deseret Capital Letter Ow Unicode Character

U+1040D "𐐍" Deseret Capital Letter Ow 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 leadership of Brigham Young to simplify English spelling. This specific character represents the "ow" sound, as in the word "cow" or "how," and is the uppercase form of its corresponding lowercase letter. Included in the Unicode standard under the Deseret script block, it is now primarily used in historical and linguistic documentation rather than common everyday writing.
