U+10433 "𐐳" Deseret Small Letter Short Oo Unicode Character

U+10433 "𐐳" Deseret Small Letter Short Oo is a character from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script created in the mid-19th century for writing English, primarily used by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Utah Territory. This specific character represents the short "oo" sound, as in the word "book" or "put", and is the lowercase form of the capital letter "𐐩" (U+10429). The Deseret alphabet was intended to simplify English spelling and promote literacy, but it fell out of widespread use by the 1870s. Today, it is of historical and cultural interest, and the character is encoded in the Unicode standard under the "Deseret" block, which preserves the script for digital and scholarly purposes.
