U+10456 "𐑖" Shavian Letter Sure Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10456 "𐑖" Shavian Letter Sure is a character from the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic writing system created in the 20th century to represent English pronunciation more consistently than the traditional Latin alphabet. Specifically, this letter denotes the "sh" sound, as heard in English words like "shoe" or "sure," and its glyph resembles an inverted or mirrored shape of the Shavian letter for the "z" sound. The Shavian alphabet was designed to map each distinct English phoneme to a unique symbol, with "Sure" being one of several letters used to write the language in a more streamlined and unambiguous manner. Though not widely adopted, the Shavian script and its characters like "𐑖" are included in Unicode to support historical and linguistic documentation.
