U+1041D "𐐝" Deseret Capital Letter Es 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 leader Brigham Young, intended to simplify English spelling for Mormon pioneers. This specific character represents the "S" sound, functioning as the uppercase form of lowercase character U+1043D "𐐽". The Deseret alphabet was used in a limited number of publications and educational materials in Utah between the 1850s and 1870s, but it never gained widespread adoption and eventually fell out of use. Today, the character is part of the Unicode Standard's Deseret block, preserving its historical and linguistic significance for digital text encoding.
