The Deseret range was introduced with version 3.1 of the Unicode Standard and is located in Plane 1 (the Supplementary Multilingual Plane). Windows XP and later versions support supplementary characters by default. In Windows 2000, you need to enable support for supplementary characters. These characters cannot easily be displayed in earlier versions of Windows.
Deseret is a phonemic alphabet for writing English, and was developed in the 1850s at the University of Deseret and promoted by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Microsoft Windows incorporates support for Deseret Unicode from Windows 7 onwards.
The characters that appear in the “Character” columns of the following table depend on the browser that you are using, the fonts installed on your computer, and the browser options you have chosen that determine the fonts used to display particular character sets, encodings or languages.
You can find some or all of the characters in this range in the Windows Unicode fonts AdamicBee, Analecta, Code2001, DeseretBee, EversonMono, HoneyBee, MPH 2B Damase, QueenBee, QueenBee Star, ReaderBee, Segoe UI Symbol (in Windows 7), TimesBee, TuBee Blunt, TumbleBee and ZarahemlaBee; and in the Macintosh OS X Unicode font Apple Symbols.
To see exactly which characters are included in a particular font, you can use a utility such as Andrew West’s BabelMap, or WunderMoosen’s FontChecker.
If you are not familiar with the characters, you can check the characters displayed here with the graphical display at http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U10400.pdf.
