U+1040E "𐐎" Deseret Capital Letter Wu is a letter from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system created in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to simplify English spelling and promote literacy. This specific character represents the consonant sound "w" as in "wish" and was used in the uppercase form for proper nouns and the beginning of sentences. The Deseret alphabet never gained widespread adoption, but the capital letter Wu was later included in the Unicode Standard as part of the Deseret block, allowing for digital representation of historical texts and scholarly work related to Mormon pioneer history.
