Description
Deseret 2002 1.00

A freeware Deseret alphabet font. Since it occupies the Unicode 3.1 range $10400-$1044F, it is unaccessible to older implementations. Here we mapped the Deseret alphabet into the Latin-1 Unicode range. Arbitrarily, the transcription is as follows:
Long i = i; Long e = e; Long a = a;
Long ah = á; Long o = o; Long oo = u;
Short i = î; Short e = ê; Short a = â;
Short ah = à; Short o = ô; Short oo = û;
AY = ã; OW = õ; WU = w;
YEE = y; H = h; PEE = p;
BEE = b; TEE = t; DEE = d;
CHEE = c; JEE = j; KAY = k;
GAY = g; EF = f; VEE = v;
ETH = ð; THEE = þ; ES = s;
ZEE = z; ESH = š (s caron), q; ZHEE = (z caron), x;
ER = r; EL = l; EM = m;
EN = n; ENG = ñ.

The punctuation, digits and miscellaneous symbols are standard Latin glyphs. Note that existing Deseret samples also mix Roman numerals within the text.

The glyphs were extracted from James Kass' Code2001, an experimental Plane 1 Unicode 3.1 font.
