Source: Browser Default
U+1040B "𐐋" Deseret Capital Letter Short Oo is a letter from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system developed in the mid 19th century by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints under the direction of Brigham Young to simplify English spelling. This specific character represents the short vowel sound /ʊ/ as heard in the word "book" and is used only in the uppercase form, with its lowercase counterpart being U+10433 "𐐳". The Deseret alphabet was primarily used in a few printed texts in Utah during the 1850s and 1860s but never gained widespread adoption, and this character now serves as a historical and linguistic artifact in the Unicode standard.
