U+1041B "𐐛" Deseret Capital Letter Eth Unicode Character

U+1041B "𐐛" Deseret Capital Letter Eth is a glyph from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic writing system created in the mid 19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, primarily under the direction of Brigham Young, to simplify English spelling and promote literacy among Mormon pioneers. This specific character represents the voiced "th" sound, as in the English word "the" or "that," and is the uppercase form of the corresponding lowercase letter. The Deseret alphabet was used in a small number of printed works and schoolbooks in the Utah Territory during the 1850s and 1860s but ultimately fell out of widespread use, leaving characters like this one as historical artifacts preserved in the Unicode standard for digital representation and scholarly study.
