U+10444 "𐑄" Deseret Small Letter Thee Unicode Character

U+10444 "𐑄" Deseret Small Letter Thee is part of 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 to simplify English spelling and literacy. This specific character represents the voiced "th" sound, as heard in the English word "the," and is classified as a lowercase letter within the Deseret script block.
