Duployan Letter J M

32/143

𛰟 is a Duployan consonant sign with two named parts, J and M. Duployé simplified Conen de Prépéan’s French shorthand, as adapted by Aimé Paris, for fast notes; he published his version in 1860. In 1890, Le Jeune adapted it as Chinuk pipa, or Wawa writing, for Chinook Jargon and Salish languages in interior British Columbia; it appeared in the Kamloops Wawa.

Text symbol

What 𛰟 means

Its value depends on the Duployan adaptation.

J and M name its two arc components; their combined consonant values vary by system.

Chinuk pipa also turned shorthand into literacy: learners used it for lessons, letters, and songs.

Why can its shape change in a word?

Duployan signs can join and render differently in context.

Adjacent signs, ligatures, fonts, and software can alter its appearance; a character chart shows the isolated reference form.

Why does 𛰟 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
