U+0479 "ѹ" Cyrillic Small Letter Uk Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ѹ
U+0479 "ѹ" Cyrillic Small Letter Uk is a historical Cyrillic letter that was used primarily in Old Church Slavonic to represent the sound "uk" or a diphthongal combination of "u" and "k" in early Slavic writing. This character has since become obsolete in modern Cyrillic alphabets, replaced by the digraph "ук" or other standardized letter sequences. As part of the Cyrillic Extended-A block within Unicode, it serves to preserve the orthographic heritage of medieval Slavic manuscripts and allows for faithful representation of ancient texts requiring the use of this now rare phonetic symbol.
