U+10412 "𐐒" Deseret Capital Letter Bee Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10412 "𐐒" Deseret Capital Letter Bee is a letter from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system created in the mid-19th century under the direction of Brigham Young, the leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to simplify English spelling and promote literacy among Mormon pioneers. This uppercase character represents the sound of the English letter "B" and is part of a block of Unicode characters that was added to version 3.1 of the standard in 2001, allowing digital representation of the historical script. Though the Deseret alphabet fell out of common use by the late 1800s, its inclusion in Unicode preserves it as a cultural and linguistic artifact, enabling scholars and enthusiasts to study or recreate texts in this unique writing system.
