Deseret may refer to:
The Deseret alphabet (i/dɛz.əˈrɛt./) (Deseret: 𐐔𐐯𐑅𐐨𐑉𐐯𐐻 or 𐐔𐐯𐑆𐐲𐑉𐐯𐐻) is a phonemic English spelling reform 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. George Darling Watt is reported to have been the most actively involved in the development of the script.
In public statements, Young claimed the alphabet was intended to replace the traditional Latin alphabet with an alternative, more phonetically accurate alphabet for the English language. This would offer immigrants an opportunity to learn to read and write English, he said, the orthography of which is often less phonetically consistent than those of many other languages. Similar experiments were not uncommon during the period, the most well-known of which is the Shavian alphabet.
Young also prescribed the learning of Deseret to the school system, stating "It will be the means of introducing uniformity in our orthography, and the years that are now required to learn to read and spell can be devoted to other studies".
Deseret (i/dɛz.əˈrɛt./) is a Unicode block containing characters in the Deseret alphabet, which were invented by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) to write English. The Deseret block was derived from an earlier private use encoding in the ConScript Unicode Registry, like the Shavian and Phaistos Disc encodings. The block was added in version 3.1 of the Unicode Standard; the letters Oi and Ew, both uppercase and lowercase, were added in version 4.0.
[Verse 1:]
Fight!
Is it right?
When you’re alone in this desert
And the only thing around you
Is the ocean of sand
Die!
Or stay alive
You have the choice, you’ll have forever
But there’s no escape from it
It’s just illusion in your mind
[Chorus]
Great desert in your soul
Great desert will eat you all
Sun shines and kills you in the bottom
And there’s no way to get no water
[Verse 2:]
Try!
To survive!
But the miracle you’re waiting
Is the trap you have created
Find the will to eliminate it!
Cry!
Look up to the sky!
You’re praying God to help you
But mysterious are his ways
And he have brought you to this place
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Find!
A thin line
That could bring you out and rescue
When you’re dying alone
In the depth of this desert
Strike!
With the sun
In your soul you’ll find the darkness
To protect your mind and body
From it’s killing light
