U+10438 "𐐸" Deseret Small Letter H Unicode Character

U+10438 "𐐸" Deseret Small Letter H is a character from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script invented 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 settlers in Utah. This specific glyph represents the voiceless glottal fricative sound equivalent to the English letter H. Forming part of the Deseret block within the Supplementary Multilingual Plane, it is the lowercase form of its uppercase counterpart U+10410. Despite its historical purpose, the alphabet, including this character, saw very limited use and fell into obscurity, making this character a niche but significant artifact of linguistic and cultural history.
