U+10443 "𐑃" Deseret Small Letter Eth Unicode Character

U+10443 "𐑃" Deseret Small Letter Eth is a glyph from the Deseret alphabet, a phonetic script developed in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under Brigham Young to simplify English spelling and promote literacy among Mormon pioneers. This character specifically represents the voiced "th" sound, as in the English word "the" or "that," and is the lowercase form of the capital letter U+10419 𐐙. Once used in a short-lived printing of church materials and early Utah textbooks, the script fell out of widespread use by the early 20th century but remains a historical artifact preserved in Unicode for digital representation and scholarly study.
