U+10449 "𐑉" Deseret Small Letter Er Unicode Character

U+10449 "𐑉" Deseret Small Letter Er is a glyph 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 to simplify English spelling. This specific character represents the sound of the letter "r" as in "run" or "car" and is the lowercase form of the Deseret capital letter Er (U+10419). The Deseret alphabet was used briefly in a few publications and records in Utah territory before falling out of common use, and today it is preserved primarily in historical texts, digital Unicode standards, and by enthusiasts of writing systems.
