U+0526 "Ԧ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Shha with Descender Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
Ԧ
U+0526 "Ԧ" Cyrillic Capital Letter Shha with Descender is a modified Cyrillic letter used primarily in the Abkhaz language to represent a specific voiced uvular fricative sound, similar to a voiced version of the French "r" or a guttural consonant not found in standard Russian. It is formed by adding a descender, a small hook-like stroke below the baseline, to the base Cyrillic letter Shha (Һ), which itself denotes a voiceless glottal fricative in other languages. This character is part of the Cyrillic Extended-B block, which includes letters for various minority languages of the Caucasus and Siberia, and its uppercase form is distinct from the lowercase "ԧ".
