U+10437 "𐐷" Deseret Small Letter Yee Unicode Character

U+10437 "𐐷" Deseret Small Letter Yee is a letter from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system developed in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under Brigham Young to simplify English spelling. This specific character represents the "y" sound, as in the word "yes," and is the lowercase form of the corresponding uppercase letter Yee (U+1040F). The Deseret alphabet was used briefly in a few publications and schoolbooks but never gained widespread adoption, and today this character is primarily of historical and linguistic interest, found in digital typography and Unicode to support the preservation of the script.
