U+10435 "𐐵" Deseret Small Letter Ow Unicode Character

U+10435 "𐐵" Deseret Small Letter Ow is a glyph from the Deseret alphabet, a phonemic script created in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under Brigham Young to represent the sounds of English. This specific character denotes the "ow" vowel sound, as heard in words like "how" or "town," and is the lowercase form of its corresponding uppercase letter. It belongs to the Deseret block of Unicode, which was added to the standard to preserve this historical writing system, though the alphabet saw limited use and is now primarily of interest to linguists and historians.
