Duployan Letter LH

This is a consonant letter in Chinuk pipa, a Chinook writing system adapted from Duployan shorthand, a fast way to write by hand. Émile Duployé published the original in 1860 to write French faster. Around 1890, French missionary Le Jeune adapted it in British Columbia for Chinook Jargon and other Indigenous languages. In the 1890s, writers used it for letters and notes; it appeared in the Kamloops Wawa newspaper (1891–1923).
