U+10441 "𐑁" Deseret Small Letter Ef Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

𐑁

U+10441 "𐑁" Deseret Small Letter Ef is a character from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script created in the mid-19th century in the United States under the direction of Brigham Young, leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This specific character represents the sound of the English letter "f," as in the word "fish," and is the lowercase form of its uppercase counterpart. The Deseret alphabet was designed to simplify English spelling by providing one symbol for each distinct sound, but it was never widely adopted and fell out of common use, though it remains of historical and linguistic interest. Today, "𐑁" is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the Deseret block, allowing for its digital representation and study.
