U+1043D "𐐽" Deseret Small Letter Chee Unicode Character

U+1043D "𐐽" Deseret Small Letter Chee is a character from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system created in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the direction of Brigham Young for use in Mormon communities. This specific glyph represents the sound typically associated with the English "ch" as in "cheese," serving as the small or lowercase form of the letter. Although the alphabet was never widely adopted and fell out of use by the late 1800s, it was encoded in Unicode for historical and scholarly purposes, allowing digital preservation of texts written in this unique script.
