Unicode Version 17.0
ð›°‡
U+1BC07 "ð›°‡" Duployan Letter B is a symbol from the Duployan script, a shorthand writing system invented by French clergyman Émile Duployé in the 19th century for transcribing the French language quickly. This specific character represents the voiced bilabial stop sound "b" and was historically used in stenography, particularly for ecclesiastical and educational purposes. Now encoded in Unicode’s Shorthand Format Controls block, it helps preserve this once-practical system for digital text, allowing researchers and enthusiasts to study its role in the evolution of shorthand notation.
