Source: Browser Default
U+1047C "𐑼" Shavian Letter Array is a specific character within the Shavian alphabet, a phonetic script designed to represent English pronunciation accurately using a distinct set of letters. This particular character, named "Array," corresponds to the sound of the vowel in words like "far" or "start," specifically representing the open back unrounded vowel /ɑː/ in Received Pronunciation. The Shavian alphabet was created as part of a legacy of George Bernard Shaw, who sought a more efficient and logical writing system for English, and the character Array helps distinguish this long vowel sound from similar phonemes in the script.
