U+1BC47 "𛱇" Duployan Letter E Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
𛱇
U+1BC47 "𛱇" Duployan Letter E is a character from the Duployan shorthand script, which was designed in the 19th century by Émile Duployé for writing French and later adapted for English and other languages. This specific character represents the vowel sound typically transcribed as "e" and is structurally a simple curved stroke within the system. The Duployan script belongs to the broader family of shorthand writing systems, and this character was included in Unicode as part of the Duployan block when the script was encoded in version 7.0 of the standard in 2014. Its primary use today is in historical or specialized linguistic and paleographic contexts, preserving the script for digital representation and study.
