U+10431 "𐐱" Deseret Small Letter Short Ah Unicode Character

U+10431 "𐐱" Deseret Small Letter Short Ah 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 under Brigham Young’s direction to simplify English spelling. This specific character represents the short "ah" vowel sound, as heard in the English word "lot" or "father," and is the lowercase version of its uppercase counterpart U+10401. The Deseret alphabet was used briefly in Mormon pioneer publications before falling out of favor, and this character now belongs to the Unicode block for Deseret, which was added to preserve this historical script for digital use.
