U+10461 "𐑡" Shavian Letter Judge Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+10461 "𐑡" Shavian Letter Judge is a grapheme from the Shavian alphabet, an artificial script designed in the 1950s by Ronald Kingsley Read as a phonetic shorthand for the English language. This particular letter represents the voiced palato-alveolar affricate sound, equivalent to the "j" in the word "judge," and its name directly reflects this phonetic role. It appears as a tall, looped symbol with a distinctive downward stroke, intended to simplify spelling by providing a one-to-one correspondence between sounds and characters. Part of the Shavian block in Unicode, "𐑡" is used primarily in experimental or linguistic contexts to transcribe English in a fully phonetic manner, though it remains rare outside of specialized or historical usage.
