U+04DB "ӛ" Cyrillic Small Letter Schwa with Diaeresis is a Cyrillic script glyph used primarily in the Khanty language to represent a specific vowel sound.

Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital text processing systems can accurately represent the orthography of minority languages of the Russian Federation, contributing to linguistic preservation and accessibility.
