U+04F5 "ӵ" Cyrillic Small Letter Che with Diaeresis Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
ӵ
U+04F5 "ӵ" Cyrillic Small Letter Che with Diaeresis is a modified Cyrillic letter used primarily in the Udmurt language, where it represents a specific sound that is not covered by the standard Cyrillic alphabet. This character is formed by adding a diaeresis, or two dots, above the base letter "ч" (Che), and its uppercase counterpart is U+04F4 "Ӵ". In the Udmurt writing system, it denotes a voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate, distinguishing it from the plain Che and enabling accurate transcription of the language's phonetic inventory. The inclusion of this character in Unicode helps preserve and digitally represent the orthography of Udmurt and other minority languages that utilize similar modifications.
