U+10410 "𐐐" Deseret Capital Letter H Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10410 "𐐐" Deseret Capital Letter H is a glyph representing the capital form of the letter "H" in the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script developed in the mid-19th century in the United States under the direction of Brigham Young, the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This alphabet was designed to simplify English spelling by providing a one to one correspondence between sounds and letters, though it never saw widespread adoption and fell out of common use by the late 1800s. The character is encoded in the Unicode Deseret block, which was added to the standard in version 3.1, allowing for digital representation and study of this historical writing system. Today, it is primarily of interest to linguists, historians, and typography enthusiasts exploring the cultural and linguistic experiments of the American West.
