U+0468 "Ѩ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Iotified Little Yus Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ѩ
U+0468 "Ѩ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Iotified Little Yus is a historic Cyrillic letter used in early Slavic manuscripts to represent a nasalized front vowel sound, specifically /ẽ/ or /jẽ/, which was pronounced with an initial "y" or iotated glide. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block and is one of several yus letters that were active in Old Church Slavonic and Old East Slavic writing but have since fallen out of use in modern Cyrillic alphabets. Its lowercase counterpart is U+0469 "ѩ", and it is distinct from other yus forms, such as the big yus and iotified big yus, reflecting the complex phonetic shifts that occurred in the development of Slavic languages.
