I was exploring the Mac OS X Character Palette again this morning and noticed something I hadn’t seen before. If you choose “View: All Characters” and then “Miscellaneous Scripts,” You’ll find the Deseret Alphabet. For the uninitiated, this was a phonetic alphabet created by the early saints to help immigrants in their move to English. It ships with Mac OS X by default!
