U+1BC01 "𛰁" Duployan Letter X Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛰁
U+1BC01 "𛰁" Duployan Letter X is a glyph from the Duployan shorthand alphabet, a script system developed in the 19th century by Émile Duployé for rapid writing in French and other languages. This specific character represents the sound /x/, as in the Scottish "loch" or German "Bach," and is part of the Shavian-inspired Duployan block in Unicode, which was added to support historical and linguistic documentation. It appears as a stylized, sinuous mark, typical of the shorthand's geometric and connected style, and is used primarily in scholarly or archival contexts to accurately encode original Duployan texts.
