U+1041A "𐐚" Deseret Capital Letter Vee Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐐚

U+1041A "𐐚" Deseret Capital Letter Vee is a character from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script invented in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the direction of Brigham Young to simplify English spelling and promote literacy among Mormon pioneers. This capital letter represents the sound of the English "v" as in "vine" or "voice," and it corresponds to its lowercase form, U+10442 "𐑂." Despite efforts to promote it, the Deseret alphabet never achieved widespread use and remains a historical curiosity, though it is encoded in the Unicode Standard under the "Deseret" block, which includes both uppercase and lowercase letters for the script.
