U+10428 "𐐨" Deseret Small Letter Long I is a specific glyph 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 Brigham Young to simplify English spelling. This character represents the long "I" sound, as in the word "eye", and is part of the Deseret block in Unicode, which was added to support historical and linguistic texts.
