U+1045F "𐑟" Shavian Letter Zoo Unicode Character

U+1045F "𐑟" Shavian Letter Zoo is a glyph from the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic writing system designed for the English language, and it represents the voiced sibilant consonant sound /z/, as heard in the word "zoo." Conceived by George Bernard Shaw and funded by his estate, the alphabet was intended to simplify English spelling by matching letters to sounds, and this specific character is the 49th letter of the 48 letter script, with an extra for the vowel sound. Its shape, a curved, downward stroke with a loop, visually hints at the buzzing motion of its namesake animal, making it a direct, mnemonic link between the written symbol and its phonetic value.
