U+1BC05 "𛰅" Duployan Letter K Unicode Character

U+1BC05 "𛰅" Duployan Letter K is part of the Duployan shorthand block, which encodes a system of phonetic shorthand invented by Émile Duployé in the 19th century for writing French, English, German, and other languages. This specific character represents the consonant sound /k/, akin to the letter K in the Latin alphabet, and its cursive, simplified shape reflects the shorthand's purpose of enabling rapid writing by reducing complex strokes. The Duployan script is still used in some contexts for personal note-taking and specialized linguistic documentation.
