U+1046B "𐑫" Shavian Letter Wool Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐑫
U+1046B "𐑫" Shavian Letter Wool is a letter in the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic writing system created by Ronald Kingsley Read for the English language. It represents the sound /ʊ/ as in the word "wool," from which it derives its name, and corresponds to the "oo" in "foot" or the "u" in "put." As part of the Shavian block, this character was encoded in Unicode to support the transcription of English speech, though the alphabet itself did not achieve widespread adoption and remains of interest primarily to linguists and enthusiasts of constructed scripts.
