Add Deseret support #53

I would also like Deseret support which was designed by the Mormons after they moved to Utah. As part of my research on Shavian, I also discovered Deseret as they are both phonemic alphabets with "1 letter per sound".

Both Shavian and Deseret are defined in Unicode. Here's the poem again called Four Ducks in a Pond:

𐐙𐐬𐑉 𐐼𐐲𐐿𐑅 𐐪𐑌 𐐩 𐐹𐐪𐑌𐐼, 𐐁 𐑀𐑉𐐰𐑅-𐐺𐐰𐑍𐐿 𐐺𐐨𐐪𐑌𐐼, 𐐁 𐐺𐑊𐐭 𐑅𐐿𐐴 𐐲𐑂 𐑅𐐹𐑉𐐮𐑍, 𐐎𐐴𐐻 𐐿𐑊𐐵𐐼𐑆 𐐪𐑌 𐑄 𐐶𐐮𐑍; 𐐎𐐲𐐻 𐐩 𐑊𐐮𐐻𐐲𐑊 𐑃𐐮𐑍 𐐓𐐭 𐑉𐐮𐑋𐐯𐑋𐐺𐐲𐑉 𐑁𐐫𐑉 𐐷𐐨𐑉𐑆- 𐐓𐐭 𐑉𐐮𐑋𐐯𐑋𐐺𐐲𐑉 𐐶𐐮𐑄 𐐻𐐯𐑉𐑆!

Four ducks on a pond, A grass-bank beyond, A blue sky of spring, White clouds on the wing; What a little thing To remember for years- To remember with tears!

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I've added it to #1, where I'm keeping track of extensions of Darwin to other writing systems, including both extension I'm personally interested in adding eventually, as well as requested additions.
