U+10458 "𐑘" Shavian Letter Yea is a symbol from the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic writing system designed for the English language to replace the Latin alphabet. This specific character represents the "y" sound, as in the word "yes," and is used in Shavian orthography to transcribe the voiced palatal approximant phoneme. The Shavian alphabet was created by Ronald Kingsley Read in the 1960s following a competition initiated by George Bernard Shaw, who advocated for a more rational and efficient script for English.
