U+10474 "𐑴" Shavian Letter Oak Unicode Character

U+10474 "𐑴" Shavian Letter Oak is a character from the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic script designed for the English language to replace the traditional Latin alphabet and simplify spelling. This specific letter represents the sound of the long "O" vowel, as in the word "oak" itself, and its name directly derives from its phonetic value. The Shavian alphabet, created by Ronald Kingsley Read under the patronage of George Bernard Shaw, was intended to reduce ambiguity in written English by providing a distinct symbol for each phoneme.
