ISO 15924 script code: Dsrt

The Deseret alphabet is a non-Latin script invented around 1854 by the board of regents of the University of Deseret, under the direction of Brigham Young, leader of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), with the aim of reforming English spelling. Principally used by the Mormon culture, this alphabet was employed for some publications in English. While never widely adopted, it has some support on modern computer systems through Unicode, thus it can be represented in modern operating systems. It mainly remains a subject of interest among linguists and historians.
