Deseret Unicode Characters page 1

The Deseret block contains characters used in the Deseret alphabet, which was developed in the mid-19th century by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in Utah. The Deseret alphabet was designed to provide a more phonetic way of writing English, with each character representing a specific sound. The script was used primarily in educational materials and some newspapers. Although the Deseret alphabet was never widely adopted, it remains an interesting experiment in orthographic reform. This block includes all the characters of the Deseret alphabet, reflecting its historical and linguistic significance..
