Source: Browser Default
U+1045E "𐑞" Shavian Letter They is a symbol from the Shavian alphabet, an artificial script designed to represent English phonetically in a more efficient manner than the Latin alphabet. This specific character denotes the voiced dental fricative sound, equivalent to the "th" in words like "that" or "the," and its name "They" reflects a common English word that begins with this phoneme. The Shavian alphabet was commissioned by George Bernard Shaw as part of his legacy to reform English spelling, with the letter "𐑞" thus serving a key role in transcribing a distinct sound that often causes spelling irregularities in standard English.
