U+0510 "Ԑ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Reversed Ze Unicode Character
U+0510 "Ԑ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Reversed Ze is a distinctive letter in the Cyrillic script used primarily for the Abkhaz and Khwarshi languages, where it represents a specific vowel sound, typically the near-open central unrounded vowel [ɐ] or a similar sound. Its form is a mirror image of the standard Cyrillic letter Ze (З), opened to the right rather than the left, giving it a unique appearance. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block and was added to the Unicode standard to support the orthographic needs of minority languages in the Caucasus region. Its lowercase counterpart is U+0511 "ԑ", and together they ensure accurate representation of these languages in digital text, reflecting a wider effort to preserve linguistic diversity through encoding.
