Unicode Version 17.0

ð›°˜

U+1BC18 "ð›°˜" Duployan Letter Rh is a specific glyph from the Duployan shorthand script, a writing system invented in the 19th century by Émile Duployé for rapid transcription of French and later adapted for English, Indigenous languages of Canada, and other tongues. This character represents the consonant sound "rh," akin to the aspirated or rolled r sound found in various languages. It belongs to the "Duployan" Unicode block (U+1BC00 to U+1BC9F), which encodes the diverse set of letter forms, punctuation, and modifier marks used in this stenographic system. The Duployan script is notable for its geometric simplicity and cursive nature, designed for speed, and is still employed by some communities, such as the Tlingit and other First Nations groups, for writing their languages.
