Deseret (Mormon)

Deseret is the name of the Mormon script. This writing system was developed in the early 1800s by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon church. The name Deseret comes from the Book of Mormon, which is the sacred text of the Mormon faith. The Deseret script is based on the English alphabet, but it includes additional characters for Mormon words and phrases. The script is used primarily by Mormon scholars and historians, but it is also used by some Mormons for personal names and inscriptions.
