U+1047A "𐑺" Shavian Letter Air Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𐑺
U+1047A "𐑺" Shavian Letter Air is a symbol from the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic writing system designed for the English language as a simplified alternative to the Latin script. This specific character represents the "air" sound, which corresponds to the phoneme /ɛː(r)/ as heard in words like "there," "care," or "fair." In the Shavian alphabet, each letter is intended to correspond neatly to a single English sound, and "Air" is one of the 48 characters, belonging to the set of "tall" letters that typically denote voiceless consonants but also include this vowel-like ligature. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for digital text use of this constructed script.
