U+1040A "𐐊" Deseret Capital Letter Short O Unicode Character

U+1040A "𐐊" Deseret Capital Letter Short O is a typographic symbol from the Deseret alphabet, a phonemic script developed in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under Brigham Young to simplify English spelling. This capital letter represents the short "o" sound, as heard in the word "pot," and is part of a larger block of characters intended for use in Mormon religious texts and educational materials. Though the alphabet never achieved widespread adoption and fell out of common use by the early 20th century, this character remains encoded in modern digital standards to preserve historical and linguistic heritage, primarily appearing in scholarly or specialized typographic contexts.
