U+04ED "ӭ" Cyrillic Small Letter E with Diaeresis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ӭ
U+04ED "ӭ" Cyrillic Small Letter E with Diaeresis is a modified Cyrillic letter used primarily in the representation of certain non-Slavic languages within the Cyrillic script, most notably in the Komi language. It is formed by adding a diaeresis, or two dots, above the standard Cyrillic letter "E" (Э э), which typically represents a mid front unrounded vowel sound. In Komi, this character denotes a specific vowel, often a more centralized or reduced variant, helping to accurately transcribe the phonetic distinctions of the language. While it belongs to the Cyrillic Extended-A block in Unicode, it is relatively rare and not commonly used in major Slavic languages such as Russian or Ukrainian, where the plain "Э" suffices.
