U+10478 "𐑸" Shavian Letter Are Unicode Character

U+10478 "𐑸" Shavian Letter Are is a character from the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic script designed to represent English pronunciation more consistently than the standard Latin alphabet. This specific character, "Are," corresponds to the sound of the vowel in words like "start" or "arm," typically the open back unrounded vowel /ɑː/ in Received Pronunciation. It was created as part of the Shavian alphabet, which was commissioned by George Bernard Shaw and standardized for use in limited English texts, though it remains a specialized historical and linguistic script rather than a widely adopted writing system.
