U+0475 "ѵ" Cyrillic Small Letter Izhitsa Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ѵ
U+0475 "ѵ" Cyrillic Small Letter Izhitsa is a historic glyph from the early Cyrillic alphabet, derived from the Greek letter upsilon, and was used primarily in Church Slavonic to represent the sound /i/ or /v/ depending on its context, often appearing in loanwords from Greek. It fell out of general use in standard modern Cyrillic scripts, being largely replaced by и or в, and today it is rarely encountered outside of liturgical texts, historical typography, or specialized academic transliteration systems.
