	Deseret alphabet
		The Deseret alphabet was devised as an alternative to the Latin alphabet for writing the English language.
		It was developed during the 1850s at the University of Deseret, now the University of Utah, and was promoted by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon or LDS Church, under Church President Brigham Young (1801-1877).
		Brigham Young's secretary, George D. Watt, was among the designers of the Deseret alphabet and is thought to have used the Pitman English Phonotypic Alphabet of 1847 as the model.

	Deseret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Deseret is a term originally derived from the Book of Mormon, a scripture of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the LDS Church) and other Latter Day Saint groups.
		The U.S. federal government ultimately rejected the name "Deseret" because of its religious significance and its resemblance to the English word "desert." The territory was instead admitted to the Union in 1896 as "Utah," a name derived from the resident Ute Indians.
		For example, the state symbol of Utah is a beehive; this emblem is represented on both the state seal and the state flag.

	Deseret alphabet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Deseret alphabet is a phonetic alphabet developed in the mid-19th century by the board of regents of the University of Deseret (later the University of Utah) under the direction of Brigham Young, second president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
		Another goal in creating the Deseret Alphabet was to offer all faithful Mormons a unifying script that might encourage a sense of community among recent European converts, as well as a higher sense of difference from non-Mormons.
		Contrary to what some people believe, the Deseret Alphabet was never considered to be the same as the reformed Egyptian characters in which the original Book of Mormon was written.

	State of Deseret
		The word "Deseret" appears twice on the Utah stone at the Washington Monument (1978; replica of the cornerstone of the Salt Lake Temple, 1853).
		"Deseret" was a name often used in the territory colonized by the Mormon pioneers.
		The committee requested that the state be named Deseret and that the boundaries be Oregon on the north, the Green River on the east, Mexico on the south, and the Sierra Nevada on the west, including a portion of the Southern California seacoast.

	Chicago Reader Movie Review
		The absence of people from almost every shot in Deseret is matched by a rather dim sense of human personality in most of the news stories, which are clearly confounded by the strange behavior of alien tribes (Indians and Mormon s).
		But whether or not one can spot links between places and texts, the viewer is still compelled to construct a Utah and a history of his or her own-a makeshift novel or at least fragments of such a novel-in which all these elements belong.
		Deseret differs profoundly from Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet's Too Early, Too Late (1981), perhaps the greatest of all landscape films, where the French and Egyptian locations shown are always precisely keyed to the sites mentioned in the t wo political texts being read offscreen.

	Dr. Deseret - Mormon superhero published by Marvel/Epic
		A news broadcaster in Captain Confederacy #2 identifies Dr. Deseret as a "special agent of God." The character comes from the independent state of Deseret, which is located where present day Utah, Nevada and parts of other states are in our reality.
		The state of Deseret was never admitted into the Union under the name "Utah," but instead retained its earlier Book of Mormon-based name "Deseret" and continued as a distinct nation up through the present day.
		Deseret's overt identification as a Latter-day Saint, with her religious affiliation mentioned by name, gives her something in common with Detective Jacob Raven, a key supporting character in the Spider-Man comics during the clone saga.

	Deseret - Test for Unicode support in Web browsers

		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.

	Brigham Young's Deseret Alphabet
		And the University of Deseret’s board of regents at one time voted $10,000 to print text books in the alphabet for students in classrooms across the territory.
		...Finally, at a session held in December of this year, characters were adopted, under the style of the Deseret alphabet, the number of letters, or rather sounds, being thirty-two, of which the so-called vocal sounds were eleven, including six long, with short sounds to correspond, four double and one aspirate, and twenty-one articulate sounds.
		Thus the long sound of the letter e in meter was represented by a character resembling the Greek sigma reversed, the double sound of woo in wood by one resembling omega, the aspirate by phi, and the articulate sound of f by rho.

		The whole shebang is available as a pdf file which can be viewed on a whole slew of platforms using Adobe's free pdf viewer software, and it doesn't require any fonts to be installed on your system (in theory).
		All these words end with the same phonemes (which is why we spell them all the same way), but in actual fact, the "t" sometimes becomes a "d" when we actually speak them (listen closely when you talk).
		My software is based on phonetics and not phonemics, which means that the words are spelled in the Deseret Alphabet the way they are actually pronounced, and not in accordance with their theoretical sounds.
