U+04D4 "Ӕ" Cyrillic Capital Ligature A Ie Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ӕ
U+04D4 "Ӕ" Cyrillic Capital Ligature A Ie is a combined letter in the Cyrillic script, formed as a ligature of the Cyrillic letters A (А) and Ie (Є), and it is used primarily in the Ossetian language to represent the sound /æ/, similar to the vowel in the English word "cat." This character is distinct from the similar-looking Latin ligature Æ, as it belongs to the Cyrillic block of Unicode and follows the phonological rules of Ossetian orthography. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures proper digital representation and text processing for languages that rely on this specific Cyrillic ligature.
