U+04E5 "ӥ" Cyrillic Small Letter I with Diaeresis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ӥ
U+04E5 "ӥ" Cyrillic Small Letter I with Diaeresis is a variant of the Cyrillic letter I used primarily in the Udmurt language to represent a specific vowel sound, typically the close central unrounded vowel [ɨ]. The diaeresis, or two dots above the letter, distinguishes it from the standard Cyrillic I and indicates a distinct phonological value in that language. This character belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-A block and is part of the Unicode Standard for digital text representation, allowing for accurate rendering and processing of Udmurt orthography.
