Unicode Version 17.0
𐐔
U+10414 "𐐔" Deseret Capital Letter Dee is a letter from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system developed in the mid-19th century under the direction of Brigham Young, the second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to simplify English spelling for Mormon settlers in Utah. It represents the sound of the English letter "D" as in "day" and belongs to the Deseret block of Unicode, which was added to the standard in version 3.1 in 2001 to preserve this historical script. This uppercase form is paired with a lowercase version, U+1043C "𐐼", and its use today is primarily scholarly or cultural, appearing in digitized historical texts and religious documents from the early Utah Territory.
