U+0518 "Ԙ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Yae Unicode Character

U+0518 "Ԙ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Yae is a historical Cyrillic letter used in the early stages of the Komi language's orthography. It represented a phonetic glide known as a diphthong, typically pronounced like the English "ya" in "yarn," and was part of an effort to accurately capture the sounds of the Komi language using adapted Cyrillic forms. This character is no longer in common modern use, as the Komi alphabet was subsequently reformed and simplified, making "Ԙ" an archaic variant that appears primarily in linguistic texts, digital heritage encoding, and historical documents.
