U+1046F "𐑯" Shavian Letter Nun Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+1046F "𐑯" Shavian Letter Nun is part of the Shavian alphabet, designed to provide a phonetic representation of the English language that eliminates many of the irregularities of traditional English spelling. This character represents the sound of the letter "n" as in the word "new," and its name "Nun" was chosen to align with a consistent naming convention based on the sound's phonetic value rather than historical letter names. Developed originally by Ronald Kingsley Read in the mid-20th century as a response to George Bernard Shaw's call for a simplified English alphabet, the Shavian script sees limited modern use, primarily among enthusiasts of constructed scripts and those advocating for spelling reform, with Nun being a relatively common character for its role in forming many basic English words.
