U+10425 "𐐥" Deseret Capital Letter Eng Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐐥

U+10425 "𐐥" Deseret Capital Letter Eng is a specific character from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script invented 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 pronunciation. This capital letter represents the "eng" sound, similar to the "ng" in the word "sing," and was part of a writing system intended to unify the diverse linguistic backgrounds of Mormon pioneers settling in the Utah Territory. Though the alphabet saw limited use and fell out of practice by the late 1800s, it was added to the Unicode standard in version 3.1 to preserve this unique historical script for digital and academic use.
