U+1040F "𐐏" Deseret Capital Letter Yee Unicode Character

U+1040F "𐐏" Deseret Capital Letter Yee is a letter from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script developed in the mid-19th century by leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, primarily Brigham Young, to simplify English spelling and promote literacy among Mormon settlers in Utah. Represents the long "E" sound, similar to the vowel in the English word "see", and was part of a larger 38 character alphabet that saw limited use in a few books and newspapers before falling out of favor. The character is encoded in the Unicode Deseret block, which was added to support historical and scholarly text processing.
