U+1044D "𐑍" Deseret Small Letter Eng Unicode Character

U+1044D "𐑍" Deseret Small Letter Eng is a glyph from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script developed in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under the direction of Brigham Young. This particular character represents the sound of the velar nasal phoneme, akin to the "ng" in the word "sing". The Deseret script was intended to simplify English spelling and improve literacy, though it saw limited use in a few publications before falling out of favor.
