Source: Browser Default
U+10418 "𐐘" Deseret Capital Letter Gay is a letter 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's direction to simplify English spelling. This specific character represents the hard "g" sound, as in the word "go," and belongs to the Deseret block of Unicode, which was added to version 3.1 of the standard in 2001 to support historical and scholarly text. The Deseret alphabet saw limited use in a few publications in Utah during the 1860s and 1870s before falling out of favor, and today this character is primarily employed by linguists, historians, and enthusiasts studying the unique writing system.
