U+0516 "Ԗ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Rha Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ԗ
U+0516 "Ԗ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Rha is a rarely used letter from the Cyrillic script, specifically part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block designed for the Abkhaz language. It represents a voiced uvular fricative sound, similar to the French "r" in "Paris" or the German "r" in "rot," and is written as the Cyrillic letter Er (Р) with a descender attached to its lower right. Historically introduced during the early 20th century orthographic reforms for Abkhaz, this character is no longer employed in modern standard Abkhaz, which has since adopted a Latin-based or a different Cyrillic alphabet, leaving "Ԗ" as a historical and linguistic artifact rather than an active part of contemporary written communication.
